The first post in a new series on Pathways to Practice, featuring interviews with current residents/fellows and recent graduates about their experience pursuing GME in medically underserved areas.

Dr. Shelbie Shelder shares her experience pursuing GME in medically underserved areas as part of our Pathways to Practice series.

If you are searching for an opportunity to present your research in graduate medical education (GME), you might want to consider submitting an abstract to the 2024 ACGME Annual Educational Conference Call for Abstracts.

Jamie Dow, EdM, is assistant director for resident education and training at the University of Florida. Her poster, Mindfulness in Neurosurgery: Improving Neurosurgeon Wellness in Training and Beyond (with co-authors W. Christopher Fox, MD, Associate Program Director, University of Florida, and Gregory Murad, MD, Program Director, University of Florida), looked at wellness in neurosurgery, which Dow says “has traditionally been considered an oxymoron.” However, as priorities among neurological surgery residents evolve and the effects of physician burnout are increasingly recognized across specialties, life balance and overall well-being have become areas of emphasis and an opportunity for program improvement.

If you were working in GME back in the 80s, maybe you attended one of the ACGME’s early forerunners of the Annual Educational Conference.

Dr. Mackenzie Moody shares her experience pursuing GME in medically underserved areas as part of our Pathways to Practice series.

Registration for the 2019 Annual Educational Conference opens today! We are so excited to come together again as a community – the graduate medical education community – to share ideas and research, to network, to learn, to teach, to invigorate and inspire innovation, and to hear about all the ways that physician educators and physicians in training and the coordinators and administrators and leaders in their programs and institutions find Meaning in Medicine.
