The UCLA Graduate Medical Education Committee has been designated as the authoritative
body to review concerns related to work conditions, as well as issues related to the
program and/or faculty. Residents who have concerns about their work conditions,
program or faculty, should address their Program Director and/or Chair. If problems
or concerns are not resolved at this level, these should be brought to the attention
of the GMEC or Resident Action Committee, a subcommittee of the GMEC for review and
recommendations. The GMEC is then charged with the resolution or the concern or
issue.
