The Graduate Medical Education (GME) Committee oversees the education, research and patient care practices of residents and fellows throughout the Medical Center. The Committee ensures that each residency and fellowship program provides quality educational experiences and meets the requirements set forth in the ACGME Special Requirements for each accredited program and also non-accredited programs. Further, the Committee monitors and coordinates issues applicable or common to all programs, such as those raised by external accreditation agencies (AMA, AAMA, ACGME, NRMP). The GME Committee reports directly to the Clinical Staff Executive Committee. The Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education serves as Chair.
Membership includes: the Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education, the President of the Clinical Staff or designee from the Clinical Staff Advisory Committee, faculty representatives from each clinical department offering accredited residency training programs, the Co-Presidents of the Housestaff, the Chair of the Residency Coordinators Council, and the ACGME Educational Specialist.
