NYU Grossman School of Medicine hosts an annual symposium about innovations in medical education as part of the Consortium of Accelerated Medical Pathway Programs.

Access content developed for the event, “Rethinking the UME–GME Continuum,” including the event agenda, guest speaker posters, our press release about the symposium, and video of the day’s presentations.

Rethinking the UME–GME Continuum

The time is now for academic medical center professionals to rethink how we prepare students, assess their progress, and amplify their impact along the undergraduate and graduate medical education (UME-GME) continuum. Our symposium includes contributions from leaders of the following organizations:

• American Medical Association (AMA)
• Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)
• Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)
• National Resident Matching Program (NRMP)
• Select medical schools in the U.S. and Canada

At this exciting time in academic medicine, many institutions, including NYU Grossman School of Medicine, are engaged in innovative initiatives to transform teaching, learning, and assessment. This event spotlights several projects underway nationally that integrate new methodologies, technologies, and solutions.

Several national medical education organizations have established new competency and milestone frameworks including the AAMC’s core entrustable professional activities for entering residency and the ACGME milestones. Symposium talks and workshops on these topics inform institution-wide faculty development strategies aimed toward strengthening competency across the medical education continuum and clinical specialties.
