Dean’s Resident Manpower Advisory Subcommittee (DRMAC)

INCREASE IN SIZE

DRMAC is a subcommittee of the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) for the specification of size and distribution of residents and fellows at the affiliated hospitals. Each program petitioning DRMAC will need to complete this form and submit significant data as to what is happening at each affiliated institution and the impact such a change would have upon the educational aspect on the specific program and the Institution. In addition, for any change which would impact funding the program must submit proof of five years funding, OR funding for the life of a trainee, whichever is longer. Departmental funds are not to be used for support of trainees, without prior approval from Finance.
