The conference theme of Meaning in Medicine underscores the need for sustaining purpose and joy in work as health care professionals. It is important for leaders, caregivers, and educators to remember the fundamental influences that called them to medicine, with a focus on the central mission to provide the best patient care possible. Continuous dedicated and collaborative efforts of the broad GME community have highlighted the importance of incorporating this message into the education and training of resident and fellow physicians. The ACGME Annual Educational Conference offers the opportunity to lean into this work, while also coming together as a GME community to reflect and realign as colleagues, to serve the public, and to deliver high quality and equitable patient care.
Over three days, conference attendees will dive into educational sessions with stimulating content covering topics including ACGME accreditation and initiatives; diversity, equity, and inclusion; faculty and professional development; well-being; crisis management; assessment; and many other impactful initiatives and issues that appeal and apply to all roles in GME.
For learners, leaders, educators, and visionaries, #ACGME2024 strives to be an environment that welcomes anyone who is passionate about GME and collaboration.
