    About Residency Leadership Summit


    Join a nationwide community of residency program leaders—program directors, faculty, and administrators—at the upcoming Residency Leadership Summit.  At this year’s LIVE event, we’re offering actionable, inspiring ideas; key program updates; and vital networking opportunities that your team has come to expect and value over the years.

    Get access to practical strategies created exclusively for family medicine residencies and leverage 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. 

    “I enjoyed the entire experience – the ability to network and meet new people along with gaining new ideas and ways of changing things.” 

    Laura Martin, program manager
