ACGME Chief Sponsoring Institutions and Clinical Learning Environment Officer Kevin B. Weiss, MD, MPH announced that he will be leaving the ACGME to devote his efforts to graduate education in patient safety and quality.

The ACGME has issued an updated statement that supercedes all other guidance regarding early graduation from US allopathic and osteopathic medical schools and early appointment to the clinical learning environment.

The ACGME has selected its next President and CEO; registration is open for the National Learning Community of Sponsoring Institutions and Clinical Learning Environments Meeting; and the Call for Abstracts for the 2025 ACGME Annual Educational Conference is open. 

A panel of institutional representatives and ACGME leaders discussed the successes and challenges of actively involving residents in patient safety improvement as part of the ACGME’s Pursuing Excellence in Clinical Learning Environments (Pursuing Excellence) initiative. The panel convened at a sunset session at the 2019 ACGME Annual Educational Conference.

The ACGME recently unveiled a new learning resource designed to support the mental health and well-being of residents and others in the clinical learning environment during key transitional phases.
