Council on Graduate Medical 

Education; Notice of Meeting 

In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(Pub. L. 92–463), notice is hereby given 

of the following meeting: 

Name: Council on Graduate Medical 

Education (COGME). 

Dates and Times: March 12, 2015 

(8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. EST); March 13, 2015 

(8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. EST). 

Place: In-person meeting, webinar, 

and conference call format. 

Status: The meeting will be open to 

the public. 

Purpose: The COGME provides advice 

and recommendations to the Secretary 

of the Department of Health and Human 

Services and to Congress on a range of 

issues including the supply and 

distribution of physicians in the United 

States, current and future physician 

shortages or excesses, issues relating to 

foreign medical school graduates, the 

nature and financing of medical 

education training, and the 

development of performance measures 

and longitudinal evaluation of medical 

education programs. 

The COGME members will discuss 

topics and issues for the 23rd report. 

The COGME’s reports are submitted to 

the Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services; the 

Committee on Health, Education, Labor, 

and Pensions of the Senate; and the 

Committee on Energy and Commerce of 

the House of Representatives. 

Agenda: The COGME agenda includes 

an opportunity for members to discuss 

the 23rd report on Graduate Medical 

Education (GME) innovations. The 

COGME will review current 

recommendations for reform; examine 

and document innovations in GME 

financing and architecture; and make 

targeted recommendations to support 

these innovations as appropriate. GME 

architecture is defined as changes in the 

structure of GME training programs to 

enhance the efficiency of training, 

account for changes in medicine, and 

address physician workforce needs, 

while also maintaining the quality of 

medical education. Examples include 

the combined, shortened medical school 

to primary care residency programs and 

the integrated vascular surgery tracks 

which both reduce the total number of 

years of training by 1 year. Innovations 

in GME architecture—Committee 

Discussion Questions include: 

• What are examples of innovations 

in streamlining the GME architecture to 

increase the throughput and cost 

efficiencies of GME, in order to reduce 

the overall length and cost of training? 

• How can medical education 

technology be leveraged in the 

transformation and innovation in GME? 

• What are the potential regulatory 

and licensing challenges from such 

changes, and how can they be 

mitigated? 

The official agenda will be available 

2 days prior to the meeting on the HRSA 

Web site at http://www.hrsa.gov/

advisorycommittees/bhpradvisory/

cogme/index.html.
