Annual Activities and Responsibilities
A number of complex processes are conducted each year, including trainee recruitment and selection, credentialing, completing affiliation agreements. These provide an excellent opportunity for streamlining processes and incorporating "best practices" across programs. The GME Office aims to collect, organize, and present information and templates to make recurring responsibilities most efficient.
