The Learning Environment During Residency

Presented by John Co on January 24, 2019 at 1:00 am

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) established the Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) Program in 2012 to provide institutions that train residents and fellows with formative feedback to improve patient care while optimizing the clinical learning environment (CLE) in the 6 CLER Focus Areas (Patient safety, Health care quality (including health care disparities), Care transitions, Supervision, Fatigue management, mitigation, and duty hours, Professionalism).

In the Fall of 2018, the ACGME released its second CLER National Report of Findings, which details findings from the second set of visits to nearly 300 ACGME Sponsoring Institutions with 3 or more core residency programs. During the webinar, we will present findings from the report, as well discuss changes over time since the first cycle of CLER visits.
