Only residents / fellows who are in HCFA approved residency programs will be considered house officers at the University of Michigan. Individuals pursuing advanced training through non-accredited programs will be appointed as lecturers or a new designation will be developed.

HCFA Regulations define approved residency programs as a program that meets one of the following criteria:

(1) A residency program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) of the American Medical Association, by the Committee on Hospitals of the Bureau of Professional Education of the American Osteopathic Association, by the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association, or by the Council on Podiatric Medicine Education of the American Podiatric Medical Association.

(2) May count towards certification of the participant in a specialty or subspecialty listed in the current edition of either of the following publications:

(i) The Directory of Graduate Medical Education Programs published by the American Medical Association, and available from American Medical Association, Department of Directories and Publications, 515 North State Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610; or

(ii) The Annual Report and Reference Handbook published by the American Board of Medical Specialties, and available from American Board of Medical Specialties, One Rotary Center, suite 805, Evanston, Illinois 60201.

(3) Is approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) as a fellowship program in geriatric medicine.

Rationale:

DGME and IGME reimbursement is received only for individuals in approved programs.

Greater flexibility in oversight as well as compensation is allowed for non-resident / fellow appointments.
