Mission and Leadership

ACPM GME Committee
The Graduate Medical Education (GME) Committee was formed in October 2001 with the division of the former Education Committee between GME and continuing medical education (CME) activities. The GME Committee is concerned primarily with improving, and being an advocate for, GME in all specialty areas of preventive medicine. Some of the GME Committee’s recent activities include developing an assessment tool for collecting and assembling information on residency programs, a directory of residency programs, and a "best practices" manual for Preventive Medicine Residency Directors.  The current Chair of this committee is ACPM member Judy Rubin, MD, MPH, FACPM.  Dr. Rubin is the preventive medicine residency program director at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.  This committee meets in-person twice a year, in February and in November.  Click here to view recent meeting minutes.

Council of Preventive Medicine Residency Directors
The Council is sponsored by ACPM. Participation in the Council is encouraged from residency programs in all specialty areas of preventive medicine. The Council serves as the organizational structure for information sharing and discussion which address issues of concern to these programs and can, as appropriate, recommend to the Board of ACPM policies and activities which relate to the interests and needs of the residency programs. The Council also provides input to the ACPM GME Committee as it plans the annual ACPM/HRSA workshop for residency directors.

For more information on the Council please contact the GME Staff Liaison at GME@acpm.org.
