Redefining Resident Remediation in GME Scholarship

Supporting professionals who are working to strengthen resident remediation within graduate medical education programs.

What the Scholarship Covers

Scholarship recipients will receive full tuition for the C-RGME Certification Program, a professional certification designed to help graduate medical education professionals design and implement effective resident remediation strategies.

The scholarship covers the entire program tuition ($3,497 value).

Participants will complete the certification through an eight-week structured learning experience that includes guided modules, applied exercises, and development of a comprehensive remediation plan.

Resident remediation is one of the most complex responsibilities within graduate medical education. Yet many professionals responsible for managing remediation cases have never received formal training in how to design effective, defensible remediation plans.

The Redefining Resident Remediation in GME Scholarship was created to support GME professionals who are committed to improving remediation practices within their programs.

What the Scholarship Provides

Scholarship recipients will receive access to the C-RGME Certification Program, which provides structured training in designing and implementing effective remediation strategies for residents in difficulty.

Participants in the certification program learn how to:

• Identify and define resident performance deficiencies
• Develop structured remediation plans aligned with ACGME competencies
• Implement remediation plans effectively within residency programs
• Monitor progress and document remediation activities
• Navigate complex remediation situations with greater clarity and confidence

Who Should Apply

This scholarship is intended for individuals who play a role in supporting resident remediation within graduate medical education, including:

• Program Directors / Associate Program Directors / DIOs
• GME professionals / medical education professionals supporting residency education
• Program Coordinators
• Faculty involved in remediation
• Education Specialists

Applicants should have a strong interest in improving remediation processes within their program or institution.

How Applications Are Reviewed

All interested GME professionals are encouraged to apply.

Applications will be reviewed thoughtfully, with consideration given to the applicant’s role in graduate medical education, their interest in strengthening remediation practices, and the potential impact this training could have within their program or institution.

Program-Level Impact

Completion of the C-RGME certification may also support residency programs that are interested in pursuing Program Remediation Certification, a designation recognizing programs that have implemented a structured and defensible approach to resident remediation.

Programs become eligible to pursue this designation once at least one staff member has completed the C-RGME certification.
