The following provisions apply to all graduate medical education training programs,
with or without national accreditation, sponsored by the Brigham and
Women’s and/or Massachusetts General Hospitals.
- Programs will not discriminate
with regard to age, color, gender, national origin, race, religion,
sexual orientation, disability or veteran status.
- All programs, whether or not
the program participates in a specialty matching program (such as the
National Residency Matching Program), will select clinical trainees from
among eligible applicants on the basis of their ability, academic
credentials, aptitude, communication skills, intellectual and humanistic
qualities, personal attributes (such as motivation and integrity),
preparedness, and their ability to benefit from the program. These
qualities may be assessed through review of academic records, letters of
recommendation, standardized test scores and other means, including
interviews. Additional sources of information, such as personal written
or verbal communications from medical school faculty, may also be
considered in the selection process.
- Programs that participate with
the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) shall register their
positions in accordance with the NRMP policies in effect at the time of
registration.
The following provisions also apply to those graduate medical education
training programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME).
- Programs accredited by the
ACGME will select residents in accordance with the eligibility criteria
defined in:
a) the ACGME Institutional Requirements, and
b) the applicable Residency Review Committee (RRC) specialty and
subspecialty requirements.
Note: The selection of ineligible residents or
fellows may be a cause for withdrawal of institutional and/or ACGME
sponsorship.
- Each program is required to
(1) establish and implement formal written criteria for the selection of
trainees and (2) incorporate the RRC eligibility requirements into their
written trainee selection policy.
