The Carl J. Shapiro Institute for Education and Research

The Graduate Medical Education (GME) Committee has developed and approved a series of polices related to the education and well-being of all house staff. These policies cover a broad range of topics from resident eligibility and selection to what happens in the event of a substantial disruption in operations.

Although many policies are required by the ACGME, we believe that these polices do more than just fulfill requirements. Our polices have been carefully written to assist housestaff and program leadership in tackling complex issues that may come up during training.
These polices can provide guidance to our graduate medical education community, allowing programs to provide a superior educational experience that respects the rights of the individual residents or fellows while also supporting their program leadership.

For questions surrounding these polices please contact: gme@bidmc.harvard.edu

For access to additional GME and/or hospital-wide policies visit the BIDMC portal: https://portal.bidmc.org and search the PPGD Directory or pose a question to the
ChatPPGD.

Lastly, for all current and prospective (post-match) BIDMC trainees you also have access to a wealth of internal resources you’ll find on the housestaff internal resources page: www.shapiroinstitute.org/gme-internal-resources

Once accepted in the program, you will see the link and password on your Medhub home page or you can reach out to your program coordinator for access.
