About the Group on Resident Affairs
Membership
Members of the Group on Resident Affairs are responsible for graduate
medical education at the institutional level. They have titles such as
Assistant or Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education, Director of
Medical Education, Director of Graduate Medical Education, Vice President
for Academic Affairs, or Associate Chief of Staff for Education. Each
member is appointed by the dean of an accredited U.S. medical school,
or the chief executive officer of a member of the AAMC Council of Teaching
Hospitals and Healthcare Systems, or the president of one of the AAMC
Council of Academic Societies.
Purpose
The purpose of the Group on Resident Affairs (GRA) is to be the national
professional development organization for academic medicine leaders in
graduate medical education (GME), advancing the quality of GME leadership
in medical schools and hospitals and fostering institutional accountability
for GME. The GRA will serve as a resource for these leaders, who are responsible
for graduate medical education oversight, administration, financing and
quality in their institutions.
The Group will provide a forum for discussion of:
- administrative, financial and policy concerns in graduate medical
education;
- educational content and quality and program related activities in
resident education that span all GME disciplines, including ACGME
institutional requirements and common program requirements; and
- clinical and administrative matters related to the planning, operation,
and quality of GME programs.
The Group on Resident Affairs will, through interactions with the Council
of Deans, Council of Teaching Hospitals, Council of Academic Societies,
Organization of Resident Representatives, and Organization of Student
Representatives, advise the AAMC on matters of policy relating to the
GRA's interest and expertise. The Group may make recommendations to the
AAMC governance for consideration.
