Resident Leadership Council of the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC)

Introduction:
This page provides access to information regarding the Resident Leadership Council (RLC).  It references relevant policies and procedures, resident council member names/emails and provides the RLC calendar.

The RLC members of the GMEC are selected each year by their peers to serve a voice for all of the trainees.  All Resident Leadership Council members are voting members of the GMEC. Trainees who have concerns can contact one of the RLC members at any time.  The council members will bring the issue to the RCL and/or GMEC for resolution.
