Resident Remediation Success
What if you could protect your program and help residents grow?
Most remediation processes are reactive, inconsistent, and difficult to defend. That puts faculty under pressure and programs at risk.
The ELEVATE Framework provides a clear structure to:
- Identify performance gaps early
- Build remediation plans that stand up to scrutiny
- Support resident growth through consistent expectations and documentation
The framework is introduced in the Certification in Remediation in GMEÂ (C-RGME).
So remediation becomes fair, defensible, and effective.
Everything you need
to run remediation with confidence

REMEDIATION DECISION REVIEW
High-Stakes Decision Support
Confirming the documentation trail supports the decision.
Before finalizing a resident termination, non-renewal, or other adverse action, the case should undergo an outside expert review.
When programs are preparing to make career-impacting decisions about a resident, an outside review helps confirm that the remediation process and documentation fully support the decision.
This review evaluates the remediation structure, supporting documentation, and performance monitoring to identify gaps that could create accreditation or legal risk.
What the review includes:
• Evaluation of the remediation process and supporting documentation
• Assessment of remediation plan structure and clarity
• Review of performance data and monitoring documentation
• Identification of potential accreditation or legal vulnerabilities
• Written findings with recommendations to strengthen the program’s position
Programs retain full decision-making authority while gaining an objective outside review of the documentation trail.
Written feedback delivered within 72 hours of receiving complete documentation, followed by a private consultation to review the findings.
