The ACGME has announced its Request for Grant Proposals for the 2026-2028 cycle of Back to Bedside, an initiative designed to empower residents and fellows to lead and develop transformative and innovative projects to foster meaning and joy in their work by increasing connection with their patients.

This award honors residents and fellows who have actively implemented strategies that lead to measurable improvements in patient safety within their Sponsoring Institution or residency/fellowship program. These individuals demonstrate a commitment to advancing patient safety through innovative solutions and initiatives, resulting in tangible outcomes that enhance the overall quality of care.

The New York Academy of Medicine, in collaboration with the ACGME, awards the Jeremiah A. Barondess Fellowship in the Clinical Transaction, which supports junior faculty members in internal medicine with a commitment to develop a program that enhances this fundamental element of clinical care through education innovation.

This award recognizes designated institutional officials who have demonstrated strong leadership and astute resource management and have encouraged innovation and improvement in residency programs and their Sponsoring Institutions.

This award recognizes an institutional coordinator that demonstrates in-depth knowledge of graduate medical education and the process for institutional review. This person skillfully manages the multiple roles of administrator, counselor, enforcer, coordinator, organizer, and scheduler.
