Internal Medicine Associate Program Director- Ambulatory

Internal Medicine Associate Program Director- Ambulatory

The Associate Program Directors (APDs) are faculty who assist the program director in the administrative and clinical oversight of the educational program. They impact the quality and success of the internal medicine residents as well as the education and training of medical students and subspecialty fellows. The importance of the program director/APD is underscored by the fact that internal medicine is the single largest specialty as defined by the number of training programs, applicants, positions, and applicants matched. The success of graduate medical education and of each resident is directly related to the skills and competence of the program director/APD executing these responsibilities.

The Associate Program Director supports and extends the authority of the Program Director in the administration, operation, and continuous improvement of the graduate medical education program. Duties may be delegated by the Program Director; however, accountability for the program remains with the Program Director.
