Winthrop-University HospitalStatement of Commitment toGraduate Medical Education“Winthrop-University Hospital was founded more than 100 years ago to serve the needs of acommunity which had no readily accessible hospital facility. Winthrop successfully and consistentlyfulfilled its original patient care mission until soon after WWII, when Winthrop began itsmaturation from community hospital …to community teaching hospital… to the independentacademic medical center it is today. Winthrop’s position as a leading tertiary care institution onLong Island is inextricably grounded in its commitment to graduate medical education. Theinfrastructure which was created to support GME is in large part the infrastructure which supportsexcellence in patient care.Winthrop-University Hospital - its board, its senior administration, and medical staff - is committedto excellence in Graduate Medical Education, as it is to excellence in patient care. We, who beardirect or indirect responsibility for the training of new physicians, hold core values and expectationsfor our diverse training programs: that scholarship and life-long learning be nurtured; thatprofessionalism, academic and clinical discipline be fostered; that ethical and humanistic treatment ofpatients be paramount. Our learners are expected to incorporate these values, and our teachers areexpected to model them.We are committed to providing the resources necessary to meet or exceed the Institutional andProgram Requirements of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Thisincludes attracting and retaining a faculty who have the necessary breadth of clinical knowledge andskills, as well as abiding personal commitments to teaching. We are also committed to having theresources available for restructuring and adapting our GME curricula to a rapidly changing healthcare environment. This would include the provision of core competencies, as defined by the ACGME,across all programs. We will ensure that the curriculum provides for residents to develop clinicalcompetencies under appropriate supervision, with graded levels of progressive responsibility.We will also ensure that the GME environment is enriched by an active program of basic and clinicalresearch, thus providing residents with the opportunity to develop the skills of scientific inquiry. Wewill maintain core support services which facilitate clinical and academic growth, such as adequatepatient support services, a state of the art health sciences library, media services and conferencefacilities appropriate to the scope of medical education at Winthrop.We will provide a learning environment in which opportunities for academic growth are maximizedby attention to quality of life. This includes adherence to duty hours limitations; provision ofcompetitive salary, medical and other benefits; provision of counseling services and career guidance;access to affordable housing and meals; and an environment free of harassment of any nature at anytime.Winthrop is committed to maintaining its support of GME administration, such that the evaluation,assessment, monitoring and oversight of GME policies, procedures and programs can be effectivelyaccomplished.Finally Winthrop reinforces the fact that medical education and research stand in complementarypartnership with patient care, as first articulated in the hospital’s 1989 Mission Statement, and asreaffirmed by the Board of Directors in 2000.Approved by Graduate Medical Education Committee:10/30/00Approved by WUH Board of Directors: 11/14/00; Re-approved March 2005Rev. 1/08
