The Graduate Medical Education Program Management Workbook

Ruth Nawotniak, C-TAGME

The Graduate Medical Education Program Management Workbook is an educational tool for coordinators and GME professionals responsible for managing a GME training program.

This workbook includes knowledge application questions grouped by topic areas, listings of commonly used acronyms, and helpful GME resources. Program coordinators can use this workbook to create a self-learning plan, to aid in the creation of a procedural manual for their offices, to identify areas for personal and program improvement, and to prepare for ACGME continuous accreditation through education. Although created for the individual coordinator, this tool can also be purchased and distributed by GME offices as a way to support the education of their program managers and staff.

This workbook will help you:

• Find areas for improvement in your training program management that go beyond ACGME compliance 
• Comply with ACGME Common Program Requirements 
• Prepare for the ACGME self-study and site visit 
• Transition into the ACGME single accreditation system 
• Elevate your career as a program coordinator by presenting opportunities for program improvement to the program director/GME office
