Welcome to the Graduate Medical Education
Handbook
|
The purpose of Graduate Medical Education (GME) within the
UAMS College of Medicine is to provide an organized educational program with guidance and
supervision of the resident (includes interns, residents, and fellows), facilitating the resident's
professional and personal development while ensuring safe and
appropriate care for patients.
The College of Medicine (COM) sponsors residency and fellowship programs
accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in
which physicians in training can develop personal, clinical and professional
competence under the guidance and careful supervision of the faculty and staff.
The programs ensure safe, appropriate and humane care of patients and
the progression of resident physician responsibilities consistent with each
resident’s demonstrated clinical experience, knowledge and skill. Resident
physicians are part of a comprehensive university and have opportunities to participate in
the scholarship of the medical community.
As the sponsoring institution for
graduate medical education, the College of Medicine commits that all accredited residency programs
remain in substantial compliance with the ACGME institutional requirements, the
Common Program and specialty/subspecialty- specific requirements. The College provides
an organized administrative system
to oversee all residency and fellowship programs through the activities of the Graduate Medical
Education Committee, the Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education and the
Director of Housestaff Records. The College and the participating teaching
hospitals commit appropriate resources to support the residents, their educational
environment, and the graduate medical education
programs.
