GME Update

Posted on Updated on

Please see this portion of the Deputy Medical Corps Chief’s message for an update on GME:

We are pleased to share recent efforts to expand physician training capacity to address projected losses and sustain operational readiness. The Military Treatment Facility remains our most effective model for training and skill sustainment, but challenges such as deployments, staffing reductions, and funding constraints have impacted these capabilities. To strengthen our foundation for training programs, the Medical Corps is pursuing several initiatives: 

  • Expanded Training Billets: Authorized training billets increased by 160, with 60 for in-service GME and 100 for out-service GME. 
  • In-Service GME Growth: Expanded capacity in Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, General Surgery, and Psychiatry programs. 
  • Military-Civilian Partnerships: Leveraged new partnerships to enhance training in General Surgery, Urology, Hyperbaric Medicine, Gastroenterology, Psychiatry, and Radiation Oncology. 
  • MHS Collaboration: Created additional placements for Navy medical officers in Clinical Informatics, Emergency Medicine, Neurosurgery, Pediatrics, and more through partnerships with Army, Air Force, and civilian institutions.
