These new requirements that all accredited US residency and fellowship programs follow in preparing today's physicians for practice reinforce a culture of patient safety and physician well-being by focusing on patient-centered, team-based care.

Responding to evidence of high rates of depression and suicide among US health care workers, the ACGME joined the National Academy of Medicine, which launched a wide-ranging "action collaborative" to promote clinician well-being.

On the heels of the ACGME's Second Symposium on Physician Well-Being, JGME released its December 2016 issue featuring the latest research and commentary on well-being in residency, developing emotional intelligence, and more.

As increasing rates of stress, depression, and fatigue fuel concern about physician well-being, the ACGME, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and Mayo Clinic today launched an initiative to prevent physician and medical trainee suicides.

The ACGME presented the second in a series of webinars designed around the findings of Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) Program site visits related to the six CLER Focus Areas.

The proposed revisions to Section VI of its Common Program Requirements are open for public comment over the next 45 days. The Requirements provide uniform standards for all accredited US residency and fellowship programs.

The newly organized and expanded 2015-2016 Data Resource Book shows the largest number of newly-accredited ACGME programs in over a decade, driving an increase in future US physicians who will serve the nation's health care needs.
