Graduate Medical Education

Graduate Medical Education (GME) refers to the advanced training doctors undergo after medical school to specialize in a particular area of medicine, such as surgery, pediatrics, or internal medicine. This training typically occurs in hospitals or clinics and lasts several years, during which physicians gain hands-on experience, deepen their medical knowledge, and develop skills necessary for independent practice. GME is essential for ensuring that doctors are thoroughly prepared to provide high-quality, specialized patient care and is usually supported by teaching hospitals and accredited programs.
