Update Program Director

Prior to assuming responsibilities for a program, a new program director candidate must receive approval from the College of Medicine Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) and their specialty’s Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Review Committee. Please review your program’s requirements for Program Director Qualifications [II.A.3]

This process begins with the submission of this online program director change form. 

For this online form, the following information is needed: 

  • Current Curriculum Vitae for Program Director Candidate
  • Copy of current board certification in specialty
  • Copy of current medical licensure
  • Letter outlining current medical staff/clinical appointment from department chair/section chief

Once the online form has been submitted, the GME office will review the request and verify that the new Program Director candidate’s credentials meet the requirements for the program set forth by the ACGME.

Once the new program director candidate’s qualifications are verified, a member of the GME office will contact the program to schedule a meeting with the program director candidate and the Executive Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education.

After this meeting, the new program director candidate will be presented to GMEC for review and approval.  Once the candidate has GMEC approval, the program can submit the candidate for review by their ACGME Review Committee through the ACGME WebADS system.
