This group is exclusively for residents and fellows and will replace the virtual meeting.

The GMEC representatives will monitor the WhatsApp group to help address any concerns that arise and collaborate with the Office of Graduate Medical Education (OGME) to decide whether these issues should be handled at the program level, escalated to OGME, or brought to the GMEC for discussion.
