II.B.1. Program Director

For every Program, there is a single Program Director with authority and accountability for the operation of the Program. The Program Director meets the qualifications as outlined in the specialty/subspecialty Program requirements of the ACGME. The Program Director bears responsibility for the organization and implementation of the Program not only to the Department Head, but also to the GMEC, the DIO, and the associated ACGME Review Committee. The Program Director must administer and maintain an educational environment conducive to educating the House Officers in each of the ACGME competency areas.
