THIS WEEK! RDE Project Office Hours
The ACGME is pursuing a rural data enhancement project to improve the accuracy, reliability, and accessibility of GME location data.

If an ACGME-accredited program lists a health system or consortium as a participating site, ACGME staff members will contact the Sponsoring Institution's designated institutional official and institutional coordinator(s) with options.
