The Metro Minnesota Council on Graduate Medical Education, or MMCGME, was formed with the intent of developing a community within graduate medical education in the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area. The MMCGME Services team currently consists of five full-time employees and two part-time employees with the mission of strengthening collaboration with GME through centralized state of the art information systems, critical administrative processes, core curricula, and universal policies that promote member organizations’ teaching programs.
