GME created the Self-Study guide to help program prepare and understand the necessary steps in completing the Self-Study process. GME also created the slide deck for Self-Study and 10-Year Accreditation Site Visit for programs to reference. In addition to the guide and slide deck, programs must reach out to their GME program manager to coordinate and finalize their Self-Study Summary document.
