Barton Health established a Graduate Medical Education (GME) Department in 2015 to promote the quality of graduate medical education for medical students, residents and fellows.
The GME Department ensures a high-quality learning and work environment, and the educational experience leads to measurable educational outcomes in all specialties and disciplines.
Each medical student, resident and fellow is credentialed by the GME Coordinator to ensure all Barton Health requirements are met including: an affiliation agreement with their approved program, background check, letter of good standing, current Certificate of Liability, HIPPA agreement, access to our EMR system, immunization records and acknowledgement of relevant medical staff policies.
Their preceptor must be in good standing with Barton Health Medical Staff Office and is willing to follow the guidelines provided by the student’s school. All requested rotations are approved by the GME Department.
