GME Track is a resident database and tracking system that was introduced
in March 2000 to assist GME administrators and program directors
in the collection and management of GME data. GME Track contains
the National GME Census, which is jointly conducted by the Association
of American Medical Colleges and the American Medical Association
and reduces duplicative reporting by replacing the AAMC and AMA's
prior GME surveys. Benefits of GME Track include:
- Pre-loaded with information collected from existing sources
at the AAMC and the AMA (i.e., NRMP, ERAS), thereby greatly
reducing the time and effort required for data entry
- Immediate and on-going access to biographical and training
information
- Ability to view and print resident information and program
rosters
Benefits of GME Track
The information collected in GME Track is used for research
and educational purposes such as:
- Monitor the career choices made by medical school graduates
- Analyze the impact of market forces on the GME System
- Undergird public policy positions concerning the physician
workforce
GME Track Updates
Now that the GME Track season has started, here are a few
updates that will be useful while completing the National
GME Census. Thanks to suggestions from users, the following
enhancements can be utilized this cycle:
- Programs that have completed the ACGME WebADS application
have the ability to upload their resident data into GME
Track.
- Programs that have completed GME Track have the ability
to download their first-year residents'/fellows' data and
upload into WebADS.
- GME Track now makes use of the AAMC Login, which allows users
to create a user ID/password combination for use with many AAMC
applications. GME Track and FindAResident now use
the new login system; other AAMC applications will be implementing
the new system gradually.
- Medical schools have access to GME Track, with the ability to
view and download their graduates' GME data.
