The GME Office is excited to announce the launch of our new website!
The new site is the result of several months of collaborative work by the Strategic Communication workgroup in the GME Office, which has been evaluating our communication with our varied constituents: residents and fellows (current, incoming, and prospective), program directors, program administrators, and the broader GME community within UW. Communication is one of several focus areas in the GME Strategic Plan for AY20-22.
In December 2018 we launched a new GME website on the uwmedicine.org site and an updated GME intranet. While these have been useful resources, we have heard from you that information can be difficult to find on the two sites. We also recognized that our at-times high email volume, the need to provide just-in-time communications, and our desire to share more broadly the exciting work being done by our trainees, programs and office, created an opportunity to develop a new communication platform.
What is changing?
- New GME website: gme.washington.edu now redirects to the new site
- GME section on UW Medicine website: All content on https://www.uwmedicine.org/school-of-medicine/gme has been migrated to the new website, and old pages have been deactivated. The current landing page will remain, and introductory language will be revised soon.
- GME Intranet: With some exceptions, all content has been migrated to the new website. In the next month the remaining content will be moved.
- PA Toolkit: The Program Administrator (PA) Toolkit has been migrated to the new website from the prior location on OneDrive.
- Confidential Reporting Form: Replaced with a new web form on the site.
What are some of the features of the new site?
- Single Location: Resources that currently live on the GME website, intranet, and PA Toolkit will be located on one platform!
- Content Transparency and Navigation: One location for all our resources will better highlight the resources and information shared with our community.
- New Event Calendar: Includes all GME meetings and events.
- Concern Reporting Form: New web form for submitting concerns to the GME Office.
- Blog Posts: Too many emails? We will communicate informational items and GME news via our blog posts, which will live on the home page and under News.
- NetID Protected Pages: Resources intended only for internal UW GME stakeholders (and not the non-UW public) will be on NetID protected pages (e.g., content currently available on the GME intranet).
Our Ask
- Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the organization of the new website.
- If you have bookmarked pages or linked to URLs, please update.

We continue to develop new content for the website and hope you will find this to be a more helpful resource. We are always working to enhance the service we offer to our community and are excited about this change.
