Institution Policy Manual
Welcome to the University of Minnesota GME Institution Policy Manual.
This manual is designed to provide residents/fellows (trainees), program directors, program coordinators, and education managers the most up-to-date information on ACGME institutional policy and procedures, leave policies and procedures, and administrative policies and procedures.
This institution manual is an umbrella policy manual. Each program's policy manual must reference the institution manual and contain policies and procedures specific to the program. Some programs may have policies that are more rigid than the institution manual, in which case the program policy would be followed. Should a policy in a program manual conflict with the institution manual, the institution manual takes precedence.
For policy contact information, see the Additional Resources section of each policy.
