II.F. Support Services and Systems

The School of Medicine, in partnership with GME Participating Sites, is committed to providing support services that minimize work unrelated to House Officer educational goals and objectives, ensuring their educational experiences are not compromised by an excessive need to fulfill non-physician obligations. Services and systems available to support House Officers education include patient support services, laboratory, pathology, radiology, and medical records. Provisions are made for a healthy and safe work environment with 24-hour food services, call/nap rooms, lactation rooms and appropriate security.
Meal Tickets for LCMC System Hospitals are distributed on a monthly basis to programs from the GME Office and are intended for those House Officers taking in-house call. All other Participating Institutions distribute meal cards from their home institutions.
