Learn from and Connect with Your Peers at the
Residency Leadership Summit
March 4–6, 2021
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from and connect with family medicine residency programs from across the nation at the upcoming virtual Residency Leadership Summit, formerly PDW and RPS. No matter your residency program role – director, faculty, nurse, administrator – you can find information exclusively for family medicine residencies that supports both program and staff development. Take advantage of our unique virtual learning format to engage and inspire your program team.
Join a nationwide community of residency program leaders – program directors, faculty, nurses and administrators – at the upcoming Residency Leadership Summit (previously PDW and RPS Residency Education Symposium). While the event name and virtual format may be new, we’re still offering the same actionable, inspiring ideas, key program updates and vital networking opportunities that your team has come to expect and value for years as part of the live symposium.
Access practical strategies exclusively created for family medicine residencies and leverage the shared experience to further build your team’s expertise and connections. Sessions are designed to inspire, support, and empower your program to understand and maintain compliance with evolving graduate medical education accreditation standards. New this year, delve into the latest information on COVID-19 impacts and other emerging topics that your programs must address in early 2021.
Main Stage Presentations from AAFP and Other Organizations Leading Family Medicine Residency
Virtual event programming also includes updates from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education’s Review Committee for Family Medicine (ACGME RC-FM), American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), and the AAFP Government Relations team.
Special Programming Designed for Administrators/Coordinators
Take part in special programming designed for administrator/coordinator attendees that addresses the new ABFM Time Away Policy, Milestones 2.0 and lessons learned from virtual interviews, and core topics like ACGME WebAds, PEC & AP. Additional registration fees apply.
