Graduate medical education, or GME, refers to the period of education in a particular specialty or subspecialty following completion of medical school. This continuation of training through residency and fellowship programs provides the clinical and educational experience needed for physicians to achieve autonomy, deliver high-quality patient care, and prepare for challenges in an evolving health care landscape.
Dell Med serves as the academic home and Ascension Seton as the clinical home for nearly 500 resident and fellow physicians within 50 residency and fellowship programs ranging from family medicine and neurology to pediatric emergency medicine and cardiovascular disease.
