Program Director

Policy Statement

GME programs are required to have program director (faculty-level) leadership. When a program director is away from work for 4 consecutive weeks or longer for any reason, the program must formally name another faculty member to serve as interim program director during their absence.  Appropriate departmental support should be provided to the individual assuming this role.
