Program Letter of Agreement (PLA)

A Program Letter of Agreement (PLA) is a written document that addresses the GME responsibilities between a program and a participating site. The PLA identifies the educational and supervising faculty, the duration and content of the educational experience, the policies and procedures during the rotation, with attachments delineating the purpose of the rotation, the rotation schedule, and the Trainee Financial Agreement (TFA) for salary reimbursement, if applicable. PLAs are completed by the programs for required educational experiences, and are suggested for all elective rotations. PLAs must be renewed at least every five years; however, some attachments require annual updates.
