The second of two conferences on the future of graduate medical education (GME) brought together leaders from health care, academic medicine, and physician education in 2011. Co-sponsored by the Macy Foundation and the Association of Academic Health Centers, the meeting resulted in a set of sweeping recommendations regarding the content and format of GME to ensure that physicians are trained more effectively and efficiently to meet public needs. Among the proposed changes: engaging consumers in its design, reexamining old assumptions about how long doctors are required to undergo training, and training nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals together so that they emerge ready to provide care together.
