Undergraduate Medical Education Committee
The APGO Undergraduate Medical Education Committee (UMEC) was established in 1965 and is a twelve-member committee that addresses issues of medical student education and faculty development in a changing health care environment.
The committee's many accomplishments are visible throughout the country as medical educators utilize the resources it develops and attend the meetings it plans. The UMEC produces teaching tools, organizes faculty development seminars and promotes innovative teaching methods for continued excellence in undergraduate medical education.
Call for Nominations for Committe Membership
Every two years, UMEC issues a Call for Nominations for committee membership. There are currently no openings on the APGO UMEC, the next Call fo Nominations will be in 2011. All nominations must be accompanied by a current curriculum vitae and a paragraph written by the nominee on why they want to become a UMEC member. Two letters of support, one from a non-UMEC member and a second from the applicant’s department chair must be sent in support of the application.
The committee looks for active participation in APGO meetings, programs and activities, as well as educational scholarship and leadership. The UMEC presents a list of candidates to the APGO president, who will make the membership appointment(s) prior to the Annual Meeting, when the official term of office begins.
