GME Growth
Action Group
Oversight of the this Action Group is shared with the Graduate Level Osteopathic Training Working Group.
This Action Group recommends ways for AACOM to:
- Advance GME growth in community-based, medically underserved settings by:
- Identifying funding, regulatory, accreditation or other challenges that limit or prohibit GME growth in community-based, medically underserved settings, and
- Determining existing or innovative solutions that could create an environment supportive of GME growth in community-based, medically underserved settings.
- Address potential concerns for formerly AOA-accredited programs that transitioned to ACGME to maintain ACGME continued accreditation, particularly for programs in surgical subspecialties.
