ACCP 2026 conference: Carceral Fellowship & ACGME Accreditation

Hello Correctional Healthcare Colleague,

As the field of correctional medicine grows, establishing accredited training programs is vital for the future of our specialty.

 

At the ACCP 2026 Annual Education Conference in Dallas, our Medical Track will feature a landmark panel discussion dedicated to expanding medical education behind the walls:
 
Carceral Fellowship: ACGME Accreditation
Join four distinguished national leaders to explore accreditation, training priorities and the organizational models shaping correctional healthcare. In this session, you will learn to:

1.     Outline the ACGME fellowship application process, timelines and requirements.
2.     Describe the design and implementation of a carceral medicine training program.
3.     Evaluate primary organizational models for healthcare delivery.

This is a unique opportunity to explore the next generation of carceral medicine and apply proven organizational models to your practice.
