The UME to GME Bill of Rights is a call to action for stakeholders in the Graduate Medical Education community to implement comprehensive enhancements regarding the residency recruitment process. This document was created for the benefit of applicants, programs and all other stakeholders in GME. The intended outcome is to minimize a previously anxiety-ridden experience intensified by cost barriers, and instead, support a process that promotes transparency, diversity and fairness. Together, we can influence future recruitment cycles for the betterment of ourselves, our communities, our profession and most importantly, our patients.
