Important Update
For 2026, we hosted a virtual Educators Forum, with complimentary registration, instead of the traditional Educators Conference. This streamlined format will keep the content focused and make it easier for everyone to participate. We plan to return to an in-person Educators Conference in 2027.
The program will feature compliance updates, including an ACGME briefing and Program Signaling.
The Educators Conference is targeted to program directors, division directors, and anyone who provides education to medical students, residents, and/or fellows. The primary content will focus on developing fellowship educational programming, as well as topics that address educational concepts, design, and implementation.
Target Audience
Program directors, assistant program directors, and all fellowship program faculty.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Develop fellowship educational programming that is consistent with ACGME requirements and current best practices in rheumatology education
- Illustrate improvement of teaching skills, creation or adoption of new curricula, and enhancement of rheumatology education
For information about the previous meeting, see the Educators Forum 2026 section below.
