UTHSC GME Organizational Chart
Natascha Thompson, MD - Chair
ACGME requires every sponsoring institution to have a Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC). Some of the responsibilities of this committee are to establish and implement policies and procedures regarding the quality of education and the work environment for residents, review and make recommendations on resident stipends and benefits, establish and maintain oversight of program directors, establish and implement policies regarding duty hours, ensure programs provide appropriate supervision, review all ACGME program accreditation letters, and approve correspondence to ACGME.
Forms
The Program Coordinator Committee consists of GME Administration and Program Coordinators from all residency programs in the College of Medicine. The Committee is used as a way for the GME Office to communicate necessary information to the programs, create closer working relationships among the coordinators, and determine/implement best practices. One member of the committee is selected in March to serve on the Graduate Medical Education Committee.

Overview
The Resident Forum is a group for residents to communicate and exchange information about their programs, their educational and work environments, and any other issues they may face during residency.
The forum is an opportunity to keep residents informed about important issues that affect their careers as well as provide an organized voice to raise and resolve concerns. Any topics discussed by members of the forum that warrant further discussion are presented to the GMEC. Residents can conduct the forum without the DIO, faculty members, or other administrators present.
In addition, each UTHSC residency and fellowship program is encouraged to have a resident/fellow only platform where residents/fellows can communicate without faculty members or other administrators present.
