 Regardless of whether it is written in a coordinator’s handbook or job description, it is part of your responsibility to be sensitive to the various pressures and expectations placed upon fellows and to offer them support and appropriate understanding whenever possible.
Although the GME community increasingly recognizes the importance of residency and fellowship coordinators, many coordinators report to an entity outside of GME.

Marketing Spotlight The Graduate Medical Education Program Management Workbook is an educational tool for coordinators and GME professionals responsible for managing a GME training program.
This workbook includes knowledge application questions grouped by topic areas, listings of commonly used acronyms, and helpful GME resources. Program coordinators can use this workbook to create a self-learning plan, to aid in the creation of a procedural manual for their offices, to identify areas for personal and program improvement, and to prepare for ACGME continuous accreditation through education. Although created for the individual coordinator, this tool can also be purchased and distributed by GME offices as a way to support the education of their program managers and staff.
