NYCOMEC Unveils Its GME Discussions Forum
As part of our ongoing strategic planning efforts, NYCOMEC is proudly introducing its GME Discussions forum in order to enhance collaborative opportunities among our members. GME Discussions has three main sections:
- Board of Directors Forum, for NYCOMEC's Board of Directors;
- Educators' Assembly Forum is designed for communication among Designated Institutional Officials (DIOs), Directors of Medical Education (DMEs), Program Directors (PDs), and Faculty from NYCOMEC member institutions;
- Coordinators' Assembly Forum, open for questions and answers for and from institutional coordinators, program coordinators and support staff.
The Educators' Assembly Forum started this week. Members of the Educators' Assembly will receive an email from the NYCOMEC GME Discussions with login information. We recommend changing the password. The Board of Directors and the Coordinators' Assembly Forums will follow within the next few weeks. We encourage more Program Directors and Faculty from NYCOMEC member institutions to join the Educators' Assembly and benefit from the additional services provided by the forum. Coordinators and support staff are also encouraged to join the Coordinators' Assembly and benefit from the forum services.
Please feel free to post questions, answers, and look at the past discussions. For more information, please contact us at (516) 686-3730.

Osteopathic Recognition
section of the ACGME website. Documents for applications submitted on or after July 1, 2018, will be posted on the ACGME Osteopathic Recognition website soon.

The appropriate AOA Specialty College Evaluating Committee will review your submitted materials and make a recommendation
to approve or deny each program's ability to recruit to the AOA Program and Trainee Review Council (PTRC), which will act on the recommendation at its July 2018 meeting. You will be informed shortly thereafter regarding your program's ability to accept trainees in 2019.
The Section X revisions require programs with two or more Continued Pre-Accreditation decisions to utilize the
AOA's Application Assistance Program. This policy does not affect programs 1 or 2 years in length, which according to Section X must apply for ACGME accreditation by January 1, 2019 in order to accept trainees for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please
