Planning
When adding an additional site, the following elements should be considered:
- Educational Rationale
- Timing (can take up to 12 months)
- Affected coverage at current sites
- Discussion with Hospital Leadership
- Anticipating a complement increase
Paperwork
All ACGME and Non-ACGME programs must submit GMEC paperwork for approval.
All paperwork and questions must be answered for the application to be considered complete.
Documentation indicating support from new site leadership is required (with acknowledgement of financial support).
Approval
Participating Site Requests review phase:
GME Office Review
Executive Committee
GME Board
GMEC
While your request is in this process, no news is good news. If any of these entities have questions or follow-up is needed, you will be notified via email.
Next Steps
Upon GMEC approval, you will receive an email from the GME office.
Once GMEC approves the additional site, the GME Office will begin the IIAA process. This may take up to 12 months to complete due to legal component involved. The GME Office will be in contact during the IIAA process as necessary.
