To optimally integrate clinician well-being into all dimensions of the clinical learning environment, it is essential that leaders of these efforts are advocates for well-being at the systems level of the organizations that sponsor GME. The ACGME promotes these efforts in a number or ways, including engagement of executive leadership of Sponsoring Institutions through events such as the December 2019 CEO Summit on Well-Being, an event jointly sponsored with the National Academy of Medicine and Association of American Medical Colleges.
