The AOGME RFC's purpose is to:

  • Provide a home for residents and fellows to come together, exchange ideas and network
  • Serve as a platform for residents and fellows to voice their ideas and concerns to GME leaders
  • Develop future leaders
  • Promote well-being along the continuum of GME
  • Support advocacy efforts that address the needs of medical trainees
