The purpose of the GME Admissions Reporting Standards is to aid in creating trust, educating junior colleagues or those new to GME admissions, and standardizing reporting, so candidates can accurately compare across programs. These new standards (endorsed by members in July 2020) are intended to align with the transformation of our industry and should be leveraged when reporting data to third parties.
