New Institutional Coordinator Training Program

Cohort #1 kicks-off October 8th, 2025!

Build a Strong Foundation in GME Administration with the New Institutional Coordinator Course

Join the National Society of Academic Medical Administrators for a focused six-week virtual course designed to equip early-career Institutional Coordinators with the knowledge and confidence to thrive in their roles.

Starting Wednesday, October 8th, 2025, the New Institutional Coordinator Course meets weekly for 90-minute sessions, offering a practical and supportive learning environment tailored to those with less than two years of experience in GME administration. Whether you're navigating ACGME requirements for the first time or seeking clarity on the role of the Institutional Coordinator, this course will provide the structure and insight you need to succeed.

Over six weeks, participants will:

Gain a clear understanding of the ACGME accreditation process for Sponsoring Institutions.
Learn to distinguish between institutional- and program-level responsibilities in GME.
Explore compliance requirements from ACGME and other regulatory bodies.
Clarify the Institutional Coordinator’s role within the GME Office and their collaboration with the DIO and key stakeholders.
Discover essential resources and networks for ongoing support and professional development.
Connect GME processes to their broader impact on patient safety, resident well-being, and institutional success.

This course is ideal for Institutional Coordinators with fewer than two years in the role, but all interested in GME institutional operations are welcome.
