The MSU GME Alliance Physician Advisory Committees (PACs) serve as integral components of the GME Alliance consortium structure. These specialty-specific committees function as collaborative forums for curriculum planning, inter-program peer engagement, information sharing, and addressing matters related to GME Alliance-affiliated residency and fellowship programs. Each GME Alliance full-program member residency or fellowship program is encouraged to appoint a faculty representative — typically the Program Director or Associate Program Director — to serve on the corresponding GME Alliance specialty PAC. All PAC members are collectively responsible for contributing to the development and continuous improvement of high-quality, specialty-specific educational content for GME Alliance programs.
PACs shall convene at least twice per academic year. Members are expected to attend each meeting or send a designated proxy when unavailable. Proxies should be core faculty members with active involvement in the program.
PACs provide input and recommendations on the following activities and decisions:
All recommendations developed by the PAC must be documented and submitted to the designated GME Alliance Academic Specialist. Proposals requiring resource allocation or major changes will be reviewed by GME Alliance leadership for final approval, including consideration of available funding and alignment with GME Alliance strategic goals.
Full-Service member program directors and/or associate program directors are encouraged to join their specialty Physician Advisory Committee (PAC). To join, email your GME Alliance Academic Specialist assigned to your specialty.
