Funding to expand and add new programs
As you all know from my last “From the Pages of RPA” post, I recently completed an article about how to request funding for new programs and residency positions from hospital administration. In addition to the DIO I mentioned in my last post, I also interviewed Vicki Hamm, GME manager at University of Nebraska Medical Center and author of The Graduate Medical Education Committee Handbook (published by HCPro, Inc).
In the article she talks about how the GME leadership at her institution formed a joint planning committee with their largest participating institution. Together, they developed a business plan model for requesting funding for additional programs and residency positions. Program directors fill out one of two funding requests that the committee then evaluates and decides if they want to fund or not.
The September 2008 RPA article included a template for funding requests based on educational arguments for expanding the GME program. I didn’t have room in the newsletter to include the template that calculates the anticipated revenue the additional program or position would generate for the hospital, so I posted it on ResidencyManager. You can find it in the Forms and Documents section.
