Graduate Medical Education Committee

According to ACGME Institutional Standards, a strong Graduate Medical Education Committee is a vitally important requirement:

“The Sponsoring Institution must have a GMEC that has the responsibility for monitoring and advising on all aspects of residency education. Voting membership on the committee must include residents nominated by their peers. It must also include representative program directors, administrators, the accountable DIO, and may include other members of the faculty.”

We are fortunate at HUP / PMC to have a strong GME Committee, comprised of the membership shown below. The Committee meets monthly on the 3rd Friday at 7:30am (see dates below), and is chaired by Dr. Jeffrey S. Berns, the Associate Dean of Education.

If you wish to submit an agenda item for the Committee’s attention, please contact Jeffrey S. Berns, M.D., Associate Dean, Graduate Medical Education and Designated Institutional Official, via email bernsj@uphs.upenn.edu or telephone (215) 662-3957.
