Training Program Administrator Council (TPAC)

The University at Buffalo training program administrators meet as a group to network with their peers, share best practices, seek peer support and learn about new GME policies and procedures. These meetings focus on ACGME accreditation requirements and reviewing the procedures required by the GME office through discussion and in-depth training.

To highlight the importance of professional development, the TPAC Council plans a TPA Development Day. It’s a day away from the office and focuses on issues important to training program administrators in Buffalo.

Administrators should feel free to address any questions to the members of the Training Program Administrator Council (TPAC).
