Substantial Disruptions in Patient Care or Education & Closure or Reduction in Size of a Program Policy

In compliance with the ACGME Institutional Requirements, the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) must establish a written policy that addresses a reduction in size or closure of an ACGME accredited program, or closure of the sponsoring institution. This process should be established to minimize the negative impact on trainees and to ensure the communication of these decisions as soon as possible.
