Graduate Medical Education (GME)
Aaron Friedman chairs this Working Group, which is awaiting the response of the ACGME to the Institute of Medicine's Report on Resident Duty Hours. Once the direction of the ACGME is known, this Working Group may partner with NACHRI to host a national conference and bring together the pediatric community and include those with knowledge of government sponsored GME programs, CEOs of children's hospitals and academic medical centers, department chairs, and program directors to develop a larger view of the future of GME funding. In addition, there is growing sentiment that FOPO should author a consensus document to send to the ACGME during the comment period that follows the announcement about their changes to duty hour standards for residents and fellows.
