Training Administrators of Graduate Education

 

The management of graduate medical education training programs has evolved into a complex process that involves not only the understanding of accreditation and board requirements but also the ability to apply that understanding successfully. The National Board of Certification for Training Administrators of Graduate Medical Education Programs (TAGME) was been created to establish standards for the profession, to acknowledge the expertise needed to successfully manage graduate medical education programs, and to recognize those training program administrators who have achieved competence in all fields related to their profession. Certification is voluntary.
​
The certification process begins with the submission of a completed application, including the $350.00 application fee.
Certification is awarded upon the successful completion of both a work effort product and a monitored assessment.
