Graduate Medical Education
Policy
on House Officer Selection
Preamble:
University of Michigan GME programs "strive to prepare students from
diverse backgrounds for their chosen medical careers with the knowledge,
skills and values that serve as the basis for the highest quality clinical
practice, lifelong learning, scholarly research and community service"
(Source: UM Statement of Commitment to Graduate Medical Education). To
achieve this goal, it must recruit and select well-qualified, motivated
candidates.
In addition to the
nondiscrimination and equal opportunity commitment noted above, the GME
Review Board has adopted the following institution-wide standards for
selection of residents and fellows:
- Each GME Program
shall have a formal, written process in place to assure fair and consistent
consideration and decision-making on applications for residency and
fellowship positions.
- The selection
process should include participation of program faculty and residents.
- Each GME Program
shall have selection criteria in place that are consistent with University
policy, all applicable laws, ACGME Institutional Requirements, any relevant
Program Requirements and the specific demands of its program curriculum.
These criteria must be in writing, and "ensure that programs select
from among eligible applicants on the basis of their preparedness, ability,
aptitude, academic credentials, communication skills, and personal qualities
such as motivation and integrity" (ACGME Institutional Requirements
II. A.2.a.).
- The University
of Michigan is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal
opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, color, religion,
creed, national origin or ancestry, age marital status, sexual orientation,
disability or Vietnam era veteran status (Source: Bylaws of the Board
of Regents, Chapter XIV, Sec. 14.06.) Selection shall be without reference
to country of medical school origin.
APPROVED BY THE GME
REVIEW BOARD: September 15, 1999
