Project Scope
|
An ad hoc IOM committee will develop a report with recommendations for policies to improve graduate medical education (GME), with an emphasis on the training of physicians. Specific attention will be given to increasing the capacity of the nation’s clinical workforce that can deliver efficient and high quality health care that will meet the needs of our diverse population. To that aim, in developing its recommendations the committee will consider the current financing and governance structures of GME, the residency pipeline, the geographic distribution of generalist and specialist clinicians; types of training sites; relevant federal statutes and regulations; and the respective roles of safety net providers, community health/teaching health centers, and academic health centers.
At least one workshop will be convened to gather public and stakeholder input into issues in this statement of task. The committee may also gather comments to questions about GME posted on a publicly available IOM GME website for a number of months.
The project is sponsored by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, United Healthcare, the California HealthCare Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Missouri Foundation for Health, The Commonwealth Fund, the ABIM Foundation, the Aetna Foundation, the California Endowment, and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation.
The approximate start date for the project is June 1, 2012.
A report will be issued in approximately 18 months following the start of the project
