WASHINGTON, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Resident Matching Program^® (NRMP^®) is preparing to host its annual stakeholder conference, Transition to Residency: Conversations Across the Medical Education Continuum, on October 3 – 5, 2024, in Louisville, KY. Members of the medical education community, including medical students, physician trainees, residency program leadership, undergraduate medical educators, and other national medical education organization professionals, will gather at the Galt House Hotel to collaborate, network, and discuss ways to ensure a strong, capable physician workforce.

"I'm excited by this year's conference theme of Expanding the Conversation: Ways to Strengthen the Transition to Residency, Fellowship, and Practice," said NRMP President and CEO, Dr. Donna Lamb.  "The agenda we've created will encourage attendees to explore not only the mechanisms and resources that help students successfully transition to residency but also how to equip young physicians with the skills and supports they need to thrive in an evolving political and care-based landscape and effectively meet the health needs of a diverse population."

To that end, the conference includes two days of plenary sessions and breakout discussions examining innovation in the transition; technology in medical education, training, and practice; and physician wellbeing. Plenary speakers include:
