Proposals - Transition to Residency: Conversations Across the Medical Education Continuum

NRMP is excited to accept proposals for breakout sessions that focus on themes related to medical education, the transition to residency, and preparation for residency and practice. Learners, medical school advisors, program directors, and other stakeholders are encouraged to submit.

All breakout sessions are 75 minutes in length, and submissions not accepted may be considered for a poster session. All submissions must include learning objectives that detail the “take away” points for attendees.

The NRMP is committed to providing high-quality educational programming that is evidence-based, balanced, and free from commercial influence. Proposal submissions must be designed to advance knowledge and professional practice, to present information objectively, and to refrain from promotion of specific products, services, or commercial interests. Submissions from individuals who own or maintain a financial investment in commercial products will not be considered. NRMP reserves the right to decline proposals when content is determined to be promotional in nature or inconsistent with the educational objectives of the conference.

Individuals interested in submitting a proposal will be required to identify ONE track that best represents the presentation. Tracks are identified below:

Physician Workforce (e.g., data, advising)
Innovation in transition to residency, fellowship, or practice
Technology (e.g., resources development, utilization of AI) in UME and GME
Readiness for residency
Learner, faculty wellness
Health policy (e.g., GME reform)

** All submissions must identify the target audience and detail how the session will engage audience members through interactive activities**

Submissions must identify all proposed speakers, their titles, and academic affiliations. Proposals involving multiple stakeholders - medical students, resident physicians, GME training directors, and medical school educators - are strongly encouraged. NRMP does not discount the registration fee or pay travel expenses for breakout session speakers, but the registration fee will be waived for medical students and residents presenting as part of an accepted proposal.

Submissions are due by 9:00 PM ET on December 15, 2026.
