The Coalition for Physician Accountability's Undergraduate Medical Education to Graduate Medical Education Review Committee (UGRC) has released its final report on improving the transition from medical school to residency.
In a statement, AAMC President and CEO @David Skorton, MD, and @Alison Whelan, MD, AAMC chief academic officer, noted support for the concepts and themes addressed in the recommendations, which represent an important step for the next generation of physicians. "We stand ready to work with our colleagues across academic medicine to address the issues identified and achieve the objectives of the recommendations. The AAMC is deeply committed to improving the entire transition to residency – from the beginning of the specialty research and selection process through the completion of residency and on to clinical practice. Supporting the well-being, training, professional development, and equitable treatment of all medical students and residents is critical to the health of the nation."
