The Guide for Graduate Medical Education Offices and Program Coordinators

The Guide for Graduate Medical Education Offices and Program Coordinators provides the office of graduate medical education (GME) and program coordinators the guidance need to successfully run a GME program together. Author Vicki Hamm, C-TAGME, provides how-to guidance and tools for implementing ACGME Institutional Requirements, institutional policies, crafting resident/fellow contracts, managing evaluations, maintaining program accreditation, and other daily duties. This book contains sample policies and forms to customize for your institution.

This book will guide your GME operations so that you can achieve compliance with ACGME requirements; support your program directors, and faculty; and most importantly, produce trainees who become skilled physicians as they move from the educational continuum to the independent practice of medicine.

This handbook will help you:

  • Meet ACGME Institutional Requirements through solid policies and procedures
  • Develop strategies for protecting the time of program directors, coordinators, and faculty
  • Keep up with continuous accreditation requirements, including CLER visits and the 10-year self-study
  • Manage evaluations and report program performance measures
  • Conduct special internal reviews to help underperforming programs
  • Establish a competent and confident GME committee
