Back to Bedside
The ACGME is pleased to announce the 30 resident/fellow teams selected to receive the fourth cycle of funding for Back to Bedside. View the full list of newly selected Back to Bedside recipients, projects, and team leaders.
Back to Bedside is designed to empower residents and fellows to develop transformative projects that foster meaning and joy in work and allow them to engage on a deeper level with what is at the heart of medicine: their patients. Supported by the ACGME, Back to Bedside provides a competitive funding opportunity for resident- and/or fellow-led teams to innovate. The initiative is also intended to create a learning collaborative of resident-/fellow-led research teams.
Since the inception of the Back to Bedside initiative, the ACGME has funded more than 110 projects, engaging more than 250 residents and fellows in innovative projects to enhance their clinical experience and connect more fully with their patients and colleagues.
