GME Consortium Policies and Procedures
The GME Policy and Procedure Manual and the Institutional Policies establish policies and procedures for residency and fellowship training programs sponsored by Kansas City University. These are minimum policies programs must meet. Programs are free to adopt more rigorous policies as they see fit or as necessary to meet the requirements of their accrediting organization, and as long as the more rigorous policies are in compliance with accreditation requirements and KCU.
If a conflict exists between these policies or the program policies and accreditation requirements, the accreditation requirements will take precedence. The content of the GME Policy and Procedure Manual and the Institutional Policies are subject to change. Unless otherwise noted, all policies become effective upon publication on the Kansas City University GME public website and in New Innovations.
