AMA Announces New “Reimagining Residency” Initiative Funding to Promote Systemic Change in GME

RFP will be posted in January 2019

Today, the American Medical Association announced a new “Reimagining Residency” initiative developed to transform residency training to better address the workforce needs of our current and future health care system. The five-year, $15-million grant program will support innovations that provide meaningful and safe transitions from undergraduate medical education (UME) to graduate medical education (GME), establish new curricular content and experiences to enhance readiness for practice and promote well-being in training. In early January 2019 the AMA will post a Request for Proposals for the initiative. Selected applicants from U.S. GME sponsors, medical schools, health systems and specialty societies will be funded to support bold and innovative projects that promote systemic change in graduate medical education.
