Hahnemann University Hospital (HUH) closed its first tier of GME programs July 29 and will close the second and final tier August 6. More than 95 percent of residents/fellows have found new positions and most not yet placed have received offers.

On July 15, 2019, the ACGME requested that the United States Bankruptcy Court require Hahnemann University Hospital to provide for orderly and expeditious transfer of all residents and fellows to programs of their choosing. (Updated July 16, 2019.)

The ACGME welcomes the publication of the two iCOMPARE papers in the New England Journal of Medicine. 

These resources were compiled to support local efforts to improve resident, fellow, and faculty member well-being and help physicians in distress as part of the ACGME's commitment to promoting physican well-being.

Teams of Pathway Innovators and Pathway Leaders attended Learning Sessions to share their experiences and advance the projects they initiated at their institutions.

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has released a video featuring ACGME President and CEO Thomas J. Nasca, MD, MACP, AAMC President and CEO Darrell G. Kirch, MD, and National Academy of Medicine President Victor J. Dzau, MD.

As increasing rates of stress, depression, and fatigue fuel concern about physician well-being, the ACGME, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and Mayo Clinic today launched an initiative to prevent physician and medical trainee suicides.

ACGME CEO Dr. Nasca explores recent statistics on resident deaths reported in Academic Medicine and offers strategies and interventions for programs to follow in supporting learner and faculty member well-being year round.

The FIRST trial and the iCOMPARE trial will provide much-needed data on the effects of duty hour regulations.
