Who is Eligible?
High-performing sponsoring institutions as identified by ACGME and the Gold Foundation. This learning environment should exemplify professionalism, enhance collaborative behavior, encourage transparency and value the individual learner.
How to Apply

Invited applicants will have:
- Demonstrated high performance in professionalism and foster exemplary behavior on the part of residents and faculty;
- Maintained a positive accreditation status.
- Shown substantial compliance in all ACGME data, and on the current resident and faculty surveys, particularly in regard to learners’ ability to raise concerns without fear of intimidation or retaliation.
- Undergone a “finalist visit” in order to highlight the institution’s success in implementing, measuring, and maintaining a supportive, healthy learning environment.
