If your institution is beginning to think about becoming a teaching hospital that receives funding from the Medicare program for an education mission, or if you are a medical school seeking to develop education partnerships with non-teaching hospitals, the AAMC encourages you to begin the planning process several years in advance of taking on your first resident. Building residency programs requires careful planning and important collaboration among all stakeholders, including the potential future teaching hospital, area medical schools, the accrediting body, and the federal government (specifically, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which oversees Medicare payment policy).
