You’re focused on providing the best medical training for your family medicine residents. That’s the only reason you need to attend the 2027 Residency Leadership Summit (RLS), an event for MDs and DOs who lead family medicine residency programs. But RLS also offers a place to review ACGME requirements, learn best practices, find new ideas and improve your program.
Whether you’re a residency program director, faculty or administrator, you’ll find education that supports your residency program goals. And you’ll interact with people who understand the challenges of educating the next generation of family physicians.
