Graduate Medical Education – Puget Sound

The Puget Sound Graduate Medical Education office serves as a central location for onboarding, vetting, and sponsoring medical students, visiting residents, and APP students.

All trainees are expected to meet with their supervising physician or provider prior to procedures. The purpose of this is to have the trainee communicate to the supervisor their stage of training/education, their familiarity with the planned procedure, and focus areas where they would like feedback. There should also be a discussion regarding the role of the trainee in the procedure.
