GME Consortium Policies and Procedures

The GME Policy and Procedure Manual and Institutional Policies establish policies and procedures for residency and fellowship training programs sponsored by Kansas City University (KCU). These policies establish minimum requirements that all programs must meet. Programs may adopt more rigorous policies as needed or to meet the requirements of their accrediting organizations, provided those policies comply with accreditation requirements and KCU policies.

If a conflict exists between these policies, program-specific policies and accreditation requirements, the accreditation requirements take precedence.

The GME Policy and Procedure Manual and Institutional Policies are subject to change. Unless otherwise noted, all policies take effect upon publication on the KCU GME public website and in New Innovations.
