This image is the GME Parthenon and it graphically represents the Mission and Vision of the Office for Graduate Medical Education. The foundation elements of GME are Scholarship, Program Accreditation & Compliance, and Institutional Accreditation. Our four major pillars of effort are Work-Life Wellness, Health Systems Science, Professional Development, and Educational Innovation. All of these elements support a “roof” consisting of Exemplary Physicians, GME Programs, and Institutional Practices that help us achieve (at the peak of the roof) the Quadruple Aim of healthcare: improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction), improving population health, sustaining provider vitality, and increasing the value of healthcare.
