Educator Development for GME Excellence​ (EDGE)

Welcome to EDGE! Our new and more inclusive education offering for all GME educators.

  • Provide opportunities for program leaders to learn from colleagues and experts about best practices in GME
  • Support excellence throughout UW GME
  • Create a strong UW GME community

With this change, we have also modified: 1) the structure (now 4 unique sessions each year) and 2) attendance expectations.

We will ask that:

  • PDs plan to attend 3 of 4 events each year
  • APDs and Core Faculty plan to attend 2 of 4 events each year (individual or program choice)

We will continue to offer two unique events in the fall and two unique events in the spring, avoiding the busy recruitment period. All sessions will remain virtual – 60-90 min in duration.
