Join us for a dynamic half-day precourse designed for internal medicine residency program directors and GME leaders. Through expert-led sessions and interactive discussion, participants will learn practical approaches to recruiting, onboarding, mentoring, and advancing IMG residents.
The sessions will touch on themes of early transition challenges, cultural humility and bias, faculty development, fellowship and employment pathways, immigration considerations, and strategies for creating an inclusive learning environment that enable IMG trainees to thrive. Whether your program trains a few IMGs, relies heavily on IMG talent, or is just starting to consider IMG applicants, this precourse will provide actionable tools to strengthen support across the entire residency journey.

GME leaders and faculty interested in building their knowledge and skills.

Is your residency program ready for a refresh?
Moving beyond the traditional foundations of residency leadership (CCC, assessment, remediation, and basic leadership), this highly interactive pre-course, designed for program directors, associate program directors, and core faculty, focuses on the structures and experiences that shape how a residency program functions day-to-day.
Participants will explore adaptable approaches to curriculum and didactic design, digital communication and program identity in recruitment, and clinical scheduling. Through real-world examples, facilitated discussion and peer exchange, and hands-on application, attendees will assess their own program, prioritize high-impact opportunities, anticipate implementation barriers, and develop a focused action plan. Attendees will leave with practical tools and strategies for creating meaningful, sustainable change within their institutional context.
Target Audience
GME fellowship and residency program associate/directors, faculty and particularly leaders 2-5 years into their current role or wanting to revisit some core GME leadership principles.
