As part of Jackson Health System’s mission to provide consistently excellent and accessible health services to all in need of care regardless of status and ability to pay, Jackson Memorial Hospital is committed to sustaining a premier learning environment for all members of its community, in collaboration with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and other institutions.

JMH strives to fully realize its commitment to Graduate Medical Education (GME) by providing oversight and support for all sponsored Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited graduate medical education programs. Consistent with the Institutional and Program Requirements of the ACGME, it is expected that each residency and fellowship program will appoint the most qualified applicants, recruit and retain outstanding academic attending physicians, and offer comprehensive, competency-based educational programs, while maintaining a balance between training, service and research, and while fostering the professional development and personnel growth of each resident and fellow.

To achieve the above objectives, Jackson Memorial Hospital will continue to:

•Support a Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) that has policy and oversight responsibilities as required by JMH policies and ACGME Institutional Requirements.


•Fund a central administrative Office of Graduate Medical Education to support all GME programs and the GMEC and GMEC subcommittees.


•Offer educational resources (library, teaching space and equipment, information systems) and curricula common to all GME programs.


•Ensure that all residents and fellows have the opportunity to learn and provide supervised safe patient care.


•Ensure that all residents and fellows are treated fairly and have ample opportunity to communicate any concerns.


•Facilitate and formalize collaborations and affiliations with other teaching hospitals and community facilities and with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.


•Provide hospital professional, informational and support services that are adequate to meet the educational goals of each program.


•Coordinate the fair implementation of personnel policies and procedures for all trainees.


•Provide adequate on-call rooms, food services, security and other services beneficial to the well-being of all trainees.


•Assure compliance with ACGME duty hour requirements.
