Participating sites are used in situations in which the sponsoring institution cannot provide certain experiences that are required by the program. For example, the institution may need to send its residents out to complete trauma rotations if it is not a trauma center. As we discussed last month, the first step to moving toward a just culture to improve patient safety in clinical learning environments is undertaking a culture assessment to determine your organization's current culture. Once it has been completed, your organization's leadership has the daunting task of looking at what the findings tell them, including what the staff perceives as the organization's problem areas. 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 they 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.
