Graduate Medical Education is essential to preparing the next generation of physicians to serve our communities, and yet many sponsoring institutions do not fully understand how GME functions. As residency leaders, it is crucial that we advocate for our programs in the right circles with the right language to make the best case to support our needs. This webinar will educate the participant regarding strategies that can help develop relationship with key institutional leaders and provide the tools necessary to make a convincing demonstration of your program’s value.
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
-Discuss the structure of health system leadership and the importance of knowing the focus of each leader role when advocating for program needs.
-Describe approaches to advocating to the system leadership team including the use of data and an "elevator speech".
-Apply these strategies to requests for faculty protected time specifically.
