Statement of Institutional Commitment to Graduate Medical Education
Our GME Mission is to support and develop trainees who will, upon completion of their training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), provide exemplary patient care, model inspiring leadership, honor their personal priorities, and sustain lifelong learning in their chosen specialty and position.
We will achieve this by:
- Creating and implementing competency-based educational programs that support personal development for trainees,
- Recruiting, developing, and retaining a group of trainees who will provide excellent care to the populations they serve,
- Supporting faculty role models who exemplify professionalism as they provide supervision and guidance while actively developing autonomy in trainees,
- Adhering to evidence-based, data-driven clinical learning and operational systems, measured and defined by ongoing quality improvement practices which prioritize patient safety, and
- Partnering with patients in learning as we identify and respond to local and regional needs.
