GME Committee
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-ACGME 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.
Voting membership includes: The Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education as the Chair, Program Directors from many of the core specialties, subspecialties and chaplaincy, representation from the medical center’s quality committee, Housestaff Council Co-Presidents, plus two additional housestaff delegates, and Chair of the Coordinators’ Council.
