This workshop is designed for GME administrators and coordinators who are interested in personal professional development opportunities or who are considering TAGME certification as an avenue of professional development. This workshop will also contain pertinent information for certified administrators who are seeking recertification. The workshop will cover the benefits of TAGME certification, changes in the certification process, the annual timeline and deadlines, and application requirements. Presenters will provide an overview of the application process, valuable resources, assessment content, and same assessment items. The presenters will provide information on accumulating and recording educational credits in preparation for application as well as discuss the importance of personal professional development and identitfy specific opportunities available to administrators.

With the announcement of the AAMC-Thalamus collaboration to the GME community in spring 2023, coordinators everywhere thought "what does this mean for me?" As programs prepare for the upcoming recruitment season and the use of Thalamus (a cloud-based interview management platform) programs everywhere seek to find the answer. Thalamus provides programs with complimentary access to Thalamus Core, the Itinerary Wizard, and Cerebellum. In this workshop, presenters will highlight the benefits to using Thalamus and provide coordinators with a roadmap to determine how Thalamus can best be utilized for their program during recruitment. Presenters will demonstrate Thalamus Core features and the Itinerary Wizard from a coordinator's perspective with tips and tricks along the way. The overall workshop will identify the key components to setting up a program's Thalamus for a successful recruitment season.

For almost 10 years, the APDIM Program Administration Annual Survey has collected nationally representative data on internal medicine residency and fellowship program coordinators, managers, and associated administrative professionals. Developed by the APDIM Program Administrators Survey and Scholarship Committee, the survey provides trend data including but not limited to residency/fellowship program coordinator salaries, education level, workload and responsibilities, professional development needs, and outcomes such as screening for burnout. While the survey results have always been shared during the annual APDIM meeting, this workshop is designed to closely review the results with participants to help them take actionable steps to advance their career goals. This workshop provides opportunities to bold forward with the data results and get the additional support and advice on what to do with the data.

How many times have you been talking about being overworked, putting in way more than 40 hours and had someone tell you, "You need to work smarter, not harder," and you had to bit your tongue to not get yourself in a lot of trouble? Us too! Until we actually sat down and started working on ways to be better organized, developed tools to keep us on track and focused and found shortcuts to cut time off of tasks. Come join us to learn why the phrase "Work Smarter, Not Harder" may not be so bad after all. Think you have found a great solution, come share your best practices during an open question and answer section.

The world of graduate medical education can be confusing for new coordinators. Language used in ACGME, AAMC, NRMP, and ABIM is very specific to this field. Using the knowledge gained during part one of this workshop, participants will complete a hands-on, interactive learning experience, while applying the most commonly used phrases and acronyms in GME. (This is part two of a two part workshop.)

The AAMC announcement of its collaboration with Thalamus represents a sea change in the role of technology within GME's fundamental task of recruiting future generations of clinical physicians. It will not only impact the daily workflow for program administrators but also affect the recruitment experience for residency candidates and shape strategic planning at the institution and program-level. It may also provide program administrators with leadership opportunities as the ambassadors and educators for this new technology to their fellow coordinators, program directors, and GME offices. The timing of the conference affords a unique opportunity to examine and discuss the effects of the ERAS-Thalamus collaboration immediately following one completed internal Medicine residency recruitment season with the initial (optional for 2023) use of the Thalamus Core, Itinerary Wizard, and Cerebellum products. It is vital at this pivotal moment for programs to share information on any successes, hurdles, adjustments, and solutions they have encountered while implementing new technology within the recruitment process.

As the program administrator's role continues to evolve, one potential skill set is the production of scholarly activity. In the process of creating scholarly activity, it is important to evaluate the resources available, including support throughout the process. Many program administrators feel that only physicians, scientists, or learners are privy to this opportunity; however, with the support of other program leaders, program administrators can collaborate to produce posters, workshops, publications, and more. This workshop aims to continue the education on how a program administrator and other program leaders (i.e., program directors) translate an idea into scholarly activity. Participants will be educated on interpersonal-intrapersonal skills, identifying opportunities, and recognizing what incentives/recognition looks like in this process.

As members of the Nuvance Health Learning Institute's Program Manager Development Committee for the last 2 years, we have spearheaded the professional development of the network's 7 hospital system consisting of 25 residency and fellowship program managers. In this workshop, we will discuss the importance of professional development for program managers including retention and job satisfaction. We will show the benefits of professional development to both the program managers as well as to leadership. We will share how to create a self-assessment survey for program managers in order to develop a didactic calendar. We will share, as example, our network's weekly development calendar. We will discuss two different ways of creating a mentorship program with lessons learned from our initial creation of our program. Finally, we will share various ways of incentivizing program managers to pursue professional development activities which are outside the realm of their daily job duties.

This workshop will showcase program frameworks focused on increasing trainee accountability for administrative task completion by formal documentation and association to ACGME Milestones. Participants will learn two different models that can be used by a program to set expectations for completion of a variety of administrative tasks and ensure appropriate accountability. Participants will learn the challenges encountered in developing systems of accountability, the ways to standardize the process for streamlined review of all trainees no matter the program size, and the benefits of implementation. In addition to learning about two models, participants will have the opportunity to collaborate in groups to develop drafts of structures that could be implemented in your institution

This workshop is created to move program administrators from a place of disempowerment to empowerment and aid them in creating their dream role within their program or elsewhere. Participants will learn inventory the work they are currently doing and realign it with what they would like to do, based on their strengths, interests, and values. Participants will learn how to conduct a needs assessment and how to present this information to their supervisors. This workshop will provide an overview of the power of manifestation while helping program administrators create their ideal job and find clarity, purpose, and joy in the process.
