Letter from ACGME President & CEO Dr. Thomas J. Nasca thanking the hundreds of ACGME volunteers who are integral to the work of the ACGME and improving graduate medical education.

ACGME President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas J. Nasca, MD, MACP kicked off the recent 2022 ACGME Annual Educational Conference by addressing graduate medical education (GME) in the era of COVID-19.

In an effort to increase the public’s understanding of ACGME responsibilities and graduate medical education (GME) overall, the ACGME has developed a general FAQ page to answer often asked questions and address common misconceptions.

The ACGME Board of Directors recently reviewed and approved several specialty- and subspecialty-specific Program Requirements, which were updated to align with the Board’s requirements for allocation of dedicated time for program leadership, core faculty members, and program coordinators.

This edition of the ACGME's e-Communication includes information on ACGME Board actions, the new Emergency and Non-Emergency Category designations for programs dealing with an influx of COVID-19 patients, calls for resident and public members for Review Committees, and more.

The ACGME is issuing supplemental guidance regarding how a Sponsoring Institution’s days in Emergency Category status will be counted; protection of resident, fellow, and faculty member health and safety; and assessment of residents and fellows.
