The Board and LHS collectively and individually recognize LHS as the official sponsoring institution for ACGME-accredited GME training programs, and LHS’s Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) as the oversight committee responsible for GME at the LHS. LHS is financially committed to support the administrative, educational, financial, human and clinical resources needed to fulfill all responsibilities as required by ACGME.

Larkin Health System is committed to and assures that administrative, educational, financial, human, and clinical resources and structure are provided to support GME. This allows GME to be conducted in a scholarly environment and to be committed to excellence in both clinical education and medical care. The institution ensures the provision of leadership, financial, clinical, and other resources that enable the institution to achieve compliance with the ACGME Institutional Requirements and to allow educational programs to achieve compliance with Residency Review Committee Program Requirements as well as all other regulatory and accrediting standards. This includes the provision of an ethical, diverse, and professional environment in which the educational curricular requirements as well as the applicable requirements for scholarly activity are met.

LHS ensures that the Designated Institutional Official (DIO) has sufficient financial support and protected time to effectively carry out his educational and administrative responsibilities to the sponsoring institution, and the program directors have sufficient financial support and protected time to effectively carry out their educational and administrative duties to their respective programs. This allows LHS’s network of physician faculty to use dedicated protected time to provide a scholarly activity-driven learning environment.

LHS provides sufficient resources for training programs with the required clinical framework to ensure proper learning. LHS’s affiliations with various participating sites offer training programs in different clinical scenarios and a diverse patient population that enhances the residents’ and fellows’ educational experience.

LHS provides sufficient salary support and resources (e.g. time, clinical space, technology, clinical supplies) to allow an effective administration of the GME Office and all of its programs. The institution is committed to assuring that faculty and residents have ready access to adequate communication resources and technological support, and that residents have ready access to specialty and subspecialty-specific and other appropriate reference material in print or electronic format (e.g. electronic medical literature databases with search capabilities are available).
