In compliance with the ACGME Institutional Requirements, the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) must establish a written policy that addresses a reduction in size or closure of an ACGME accredited program, or closure of the sponsoring institution. This process should be established to minimize the negative impact on trainees and to ensure the communication of these decisions as soon as possible.

This manual sets forth the duties, responsibilities, rights, and privileges for Trainees. It is divided into three sections: the first section provides policies that are unique to Trainees; the second section addresses conduct and performance concerns, including the due process guidelines for non-disciplinary and disciplinary action; and the third section includes links to the Banner Health policies that are applicable to all Trainees.

Guidelines describing the procedural rights afforded to Trainees while participating in a UACOM-Tucson ACGME-accredited or Non-Standard Training Program.

The ACGME grants a status of “Recognition” to ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institutions that offer NST Programs and are in substantial compliance with the ACGME Recognition Requirements for Sponsoring Institutions with NST Program for J-1 Visa Sponsorship.
