  4. Laboratory, pathology and radiology services are available to support timely and quality patient care. Information systems are available.

The UCSF Graduate Medical Education Committee is the authoritative body to review concerns related to work conditions as well as issues related to the program and/or faculty. Residents who have concerns about their work conditions, program or faculty should address their Program Director and/or Chair. If problems or concerns are not resolved at this level, these should be brought to the attention of the DIO/Chair of the GMEC or, in her absence, a designee. The GMEC is then charged with the resolution of the concern or issue. In some cases, the appointment of a subcommittee or task force may be necessary to provide thorough analysis and plan of action.
