Council on Graduate Medical Education; Notice of Meeting

    In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), notice is hereby given of the following 
meeting:

    Name: Council on Graduate Medical Education (COGME).
    Dates and Times: March 12, 2015 (8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. EST); March 13, 
2015 (8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. EST).
    Place: In-person meeting, webinar, and conference call format.
    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 http://www.hrsa.gov/advisorycommittees/bhpradvisory/cogme/index.html.
