Editor's Picks The AMA is calling on medical schools, GME programs/sponsoring institutions, and healthcare organizations affiliated with GME to submit proposals to its Reimaging Residency grant program. The $15 million grant will fund up to eight projects over the next five years, which are “bold and innovative projects that promote systemic change in graduate medical education.”
 
The ACGME is requesting proposals for the second cycle of Back to Bedside, a competitive grant awarded to residents and fellows who develop transformative projects that result in more time spent with patients. Recipients of the Back to Bedside grant will identify barriers to spending time with patients (e.g., nonclinical and administra-tive tasks), develop and implement solutions to remove those barriers, and measure outcomes of the interventions. They will present findings at the 2021 ACGME Annual Educational Conference. The deadline for proposals is March 15, 2019.
Depending on the size of your program, preparation for the clinical competency committee (CCC) meeting can be very extensive. To make sure you’re ready, start compiling evaluation data approximately three months prior to the CCC meeting.
Marketing Spotlight The Residency Coordinator Certification Toolkit is an easy-to-use study tool that residency and fellowship coordinators can use to prepare for the Training Administrators for Graduate Medical Education (TAGME) assessment.
With 200 flashcards and a workbook featuring 50 questions similar to what you might see on the assessment, you can use this toolkit to not only prepare for your TAGME assessments, but also test your ACGME accreditation knowledge and ensure your facility is in compliance.
