UCSF School of Medicine requires Program Directors submit proposals
for a temporary or permanent increase or decrease in resident complement
to the GMEC for approval prior to submission to the ACGME/RRC. The
GMEC will weigh the potential benefits of a change in program size
against potential liabilities and may request justification and
information on the projected impact of the proposed change. All
changes should be submitted to the Senior Associate Dean for review
in order to ensure compliance with both ACGME/RRC requirements and
UCOP Post-MOU guidelines.
Changes in program size must also be approved per the UCOP oversight
mechanism. Per University of California Office of the President
(UCOP) requirements, changes approved by the GMEC require review
and approval by the UCSF Local GME Enrollment Oversight Committee
(consisting of the Senior Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education,
the Dean of UCSF School of Medicine and the CEO of UCSF Medical
Center) and the UC Systemwide GME Enrollment Oversight Committee
(where the Senior Associate Dean for GME serves as the UCSF representative).
Residents must be notified as soon as possible regarding an intended
reduction in program size or closure of their residency program.
In the event of such a reduction or closure, UCSF will allow residents
already in the program to complete their education or assist the
residents in enrolling in an ACGME-accredited program in which they
can continue their education.
