The ACGME's Back to Bedside initiative seeks innovative ideas to increase time residents and fellows spend with patients and reduce physician burnout.

This four-year initiative is designed to promote transformative improvement within the clinical learning environments of ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institutions in which resident and fellow physicians pursue their formal clinical training education.

This ACGME and National Academy of Medicine partnership will hold its first public meeting July 14 to explore approaches to promoting physician well-being and highlight current research.
