Graduate Medical Education Committee
Updated: March 2007

The Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) of the Dayton Area Graduate Medical Education Consortium (DAGMEC) is the committee with responsibility for monitoring and advising on all aspects of residency education. Voting membership is comprised of the program directors from sponsored and affiliated GME programs, the directors of medical education of teaching hospitals, the associate dean for faculty and clinical affairs, and two senior resident representatives nominated and elected by their peers.

The responsibilities of the GMEC include:

a. establishment and implementation of policies that affect all programs regarding the quality of education and the work environment for the residents in each program.

b. improvement of the system of training residents and fellows by providing a collaborative environment for the member institutions to share information and expertise.

c. regular internal review of all programs to assess their compliance with both the Institutional Requirements and Program Requirements of the relevant ACGME RRCs.

d. assurance that each program establishes and implements written criteria and processes for the selection, evaluation, promotion, and dismissal of residents in compliance with ACGME Requirements as well as WSU, DAGMEC and fiscal agent policies.

e. assurance of an educational environment in which residents may raise and resolve issues without fear of intimidation or retaliation.

f. collecting of intra-institutional information.

g. monitoring of the programs in establishing an appropriate work environment and the duty hours of residents.

h. assurance that the residents' curriculum provides a regular review of ethical, socioeconomic, medical/legal, and cost-containment issues that affect GME and medical practice.

i. promotion of resident participation in scholarly activity

The GMEC meets monthly on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Kettering Center in the second floor conference room.
