Ascension has released its Graduate Medical Education Year-in-Review report.
This report outlines how Ascension’s Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs are preparing the next generation of compassionate, competent physicians who are committed to providing quality, holistic patient care.
Ascension operates over 100 programs that train 1,400 residents and fellows each year. These programs span a wide range of specialties and are located in hospitals and clinical sites that serve diverse urban and rural communities.
In FY25, Ascension made substantial progress in accreditation readiness, curriculum innovation and trainee wellness.
Ascension’s GME programming saw key improvements and achievements this year:
- Several programs achieved 100% first-attempt board pass rates, and others exceeded 95% demonstrating the effectiveness of program curriculum and teaching faculty.
- Multiple programs successfully completed Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) site visits this year.
- Ascension received initial accreditation for four new residency training programs in the specialties of Neurological Surgery, Anesthesia and Internal Medicine.
- Ascension launched a GME-wide initiative to enhance career planning and job sourcing for residents and fellows who wish to remain with Ascension following their training.
- 346 residents graduated.
Looking ahead, Ascension aims to expand our program offerings, deepen our commitment to resident career development, and further integrate technology and Mission Formation into medical education.
