The AMA is committed to ensuring that physicians-in-training are successful as they advance through their education cycle. In doing so, it offers the most complete, up-to-date information regarding graduate medical education (GME) for medical students and residents as well as educators, academic physicians, and residency/fellowship program directors (such as a free downloadable guidebook for GME directors and coordinators).

Through a variety of tools and programs, such as a free monthly e-Letter that features news and updates on GME and a 24-hour Web-based educational series on Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competency requirements, physicians in training and physicians have constant access to resources that keep them connected to the latest happenings in GME.
