FMEC 2026 Virtual Coordinator Conference - REGISTER HERE

In early 2026, FMEC completed a simple survey asking residency coordinators about their challenges, as well as their interest in convening for a formal education event. Based on their input, FMEC has scheduled its 2026 Virtual Coordinator Conference to be held on June 18, 2026 from 9:30am to 11:30am.  

The conference is an opportunity for program coordinators, Designated Institutional Officials (DIO), and other GME staff in family medicine programs across the northeast U.S. to identify common challenges and share strategies and tools to overcome them. Workshop and discussion table topics will include:

  • Navigating SOAP
  • ACGME Site Visits
  • Scheduling and Tracking Faculty
  • Marketing Your Residency
  • Wellness Strategies
  • Identifying and Helping the Struggling Resident

And more. Please see the 2026 Virtual Coordinator Conference Agenda (subject to change).

Registration is free to any staff at family medicine residency programs or medical schools within the FMEC region. To register, click here. To register, you must create a login to the FMEC database if you do not already have one (membership is not required).
