Strategic Planning Survey for GME leaders
As our member institutions transition to the Single Accreditation System (SAS) and achieve Osteopathic Recognition, NYCOMEC has begun assessing the resources/services that our member institutions will need to meet ACGME accreditation standards.
To learn more about your individual program needs, NYCOMEC's ACGME Transition Task Force, chaired by Dr. Caronia, has developed a needs assessment survey that will be disseminated within the next few weeks to
DMEs, Program Directors and administrative leaders.
Your responses to this survey will enable NYCOMEC to strategically plan initiatives that will best assist you in obtaining and maintaining ACGME accreditation, as well as achieving Osteopathic Recognition.
We look forward to receiving your responses and thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
