ABSTRACT

Over the years, the Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs have become increasingly complex; unfortunately, this trend has been accompanied by a decrease in federal funding. In 1996, in an attempt to enhance the GME effort, Mount Sinai School of Medicine formed its Consortium for Graduate Medical Education. At present the Consortium consists of 13 institutions and more than 2,000 house staff. It is completely self-supporting and has served to ensure the quality of residency programs at all participating institutions, while providing enhanced services to house staff.
