Summary

The ACGME’s Department of Accreditation, Recognition, and Field Activities invites institutional coordinators to enroll in the Institutional Coordinator Workshop. This workshop will be offered in a virtual, six-week course in the fall of 2026. Participants will hear from Institutional Review Committee members, ACGME staff members, and experienced institutional coordinators on the role of the institutional coordinator and the basics of ACGME accreditation. Session topics include information on a year in the life of an institutional coordinator; the ACGME annual accreditation cycle; institutional accreditation and requirements; accreditation and recognition site visits; well-being in graduate medical education; the Accreditation Data System (ADS); and leadership.

This course requires pre-work and real-time participation. The live sessions are highly interactive—attendee engagement is expected. There will be six, two-hour live sessions in which participants will interact with ACGME staff members and network with colleagues. Live sessions will be conducted through Zoom. To participate, registrants must be available during all times indicated. A certificate of completion will be provided to all participants who attend at least five sessions and participate in the pre-work.

Goal

This six-week course helps institutional coordinators understand their role, including their participation in institutional accreditation processes. 

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for new institutional coordinators who are actively involved in the administration and management of an ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institution. While this course is tailored to new institutional coordinators (three years of experience in their role or less), all interested institutional coordinators are welcome to enroll. 

The course is not intended for program coordinators, program directors, associate program directors, or designated institutional officials.

Registration

The registration fee is $430 and includes copies of session materials. Attendance is limited to 55 participants. Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Materials will only be provided to course participants. 

Registration must be completed online via credit card only; faxed or mailed-in registrations are not accepted. A confirmation email will be sent immediately after registration. Registration will close on October 2, 2026, or when workshop capacity has been reached.
