of the following meeting:
Name: Council on Graduate Medical
Education (COGME).
Dates and Times: March 12, 2015

Jkt 235001
Status: The meeting will be open to
the public.
Purpose: The COGME provides advice
and recommendations to the Secretary
of the Department of Health and Human
Services and to Congress on a range of
issues including the supply and
distribution of physicians in the United
States, current and future physician
shortages or excesses, issues relating to
foreign medical school graduates, the
nature and financing of medical
education training, and the
development of performance measures
and longitudinal evaluation of medical
education programs.
The COGME members will discuss
topics and issues for the 23rd report.
The COGME’s reports are submitted to
the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services; the
Committee on Health, Education, Labor,
and Pensions of the Senate; and the
Committee on Energy and Commerce of
the House of Representatives.
Agenda: The COGME agenda includes
an opportunity for members to discuss
the 23rd report on Graduate Medical
Education (GME) innovations. The
COGME will review current
recommendations for reform; examine
and document innovations in GME
financing and architecture; and make
targeted recommendations to support
these innovations as appropriate. GME
architecture is defined as changes in the
structure of GME training programs to
enhance the efficiency of training,
account for changes in medicine, and
address physician workforce needs,
while also maintaining the quality of
medical education. Examples include
the combined, shortened medical school
to primary care residency programs and
the integrated vascular surgery tracks
which both reduce the total number of
years of training by 1 year. Innovations
in GME architecture—Committee
Discussion Questions include:
• What are examples of innovations
in streamlining the GME architecture to
increase the throughput and cost
efficiencies of GME, in order to reduce
the overall length and cost of training?
• How can medical education
technology be leveraged in the
transformation and innovation in GME?
• What are the potential regulatory
and licensing challenges from such
changes, and how can they be
mitigated?
The official agenda will be available
2 days prior to the meeting on the HRSA
Web site at https://www.hrsa.gov/

cogme/.
