SUPPORT FOR MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Advocacy and Public Policy.png
Advocacy and Public Policy
ACP has an ongoing commitment to support and improve the graduate medical education (GME) system. We have published policy papers and conduct ongoing advocacy about GME financing, redesigning residency training, addressing the resident physician shortage and other workforce needs, opposing immigration bans that impact medical education, personal and family leaves of absence for medical students, and more.

Resident Well-being Curriculum
ACP’s Resident Well-being Curriculum is designed to connect residents with evidence-based strategies to foster well-being and prevent burnout. It is also designed to help programs meet the new ACGME requirements to support resident well-being. Three online modules address the state of well-being and burnout in residency, offer individual and organizational strategies to battle resident burnout, and promote collaborative learning environments to improve well-being in residency. The online, multimedia modules may be assigned to residents to complete in advance of facilitated small group discussions.
Reward-a-Resident Program
If 90% or more of a participating program’s categorical internal medicine or medicine–pediatrics residents are ACP Resident/Fellow Members in good standing when the recruitment period closes (December 31, annually), that residency program will achieve Rewards Status. Each resident in that program will then receive a selection of free educational resources.
BONUS: The Residency Program Portal allows residency programs to bundle the purchase of ACP membership with other ACP programs for their residents, such as MSKAP and Board Prep Curriculum.
Internal Medicine Interest Group (IMIG) Sponsorship Program
The IMIG Sponsorship Program provides funding, resources, and learning opportunities to U.S. medical school groups to support their interest in internal medicine. Clubs complete an online application on an annual basis. This entitles them to $200 in initial funding at the beginning of the academic year and an opportunity to earn additional support based on their recruitment of ACP Medical Student Members.
*For non-U.S. medical schools, please see the International IMIG Sponsorship Program.
