In response to the public’s concerns about physician skills and patient safety issues, the ACGME enacted the requirement to assess residents’ abilities in the six core competencies: patient care, interpersonal and communication skills, medical knowledge, professionalism, practice-based learning and improvement, and systems-based practice.  Marketing Spotlight 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.
