Residency and Fellowship Program Director Guide

Most GME Program Managers will fulfill tasks that are also administered by the Program Director. Roles and responsibilities will depend on the work relationship between the Program Manager and Program Director. Examples of tasks include entering WebAds data into the Accreditation Data System (ADS) and creating block diagrams and schedules for residents and Fellows in Medtrics.
The Program Director Guide to Common Program Requirements is a helpful guide to common program requirements for Residents and Fellows and can be referred to periodically, throughout each academic year.
