Supporting Information & Background
In March 2020 the MMCGME Board established an MMCGME FTE Oversight Committee that developed and now manages the process to review all requested changes to program FTE baseline established at each site.
Q: What is an FTE Baseline?
A; The baseline represents the minimum FTE count by program and hospital that the hospitals are committed to fund. The baseline will be the budget for all future years unless the program requests and receives approval through the committee for permanent changes to the baseline.
Q: How is the FTE Baseline different from the AY Budget?
A: Your program's FTE budget is the FTE baseline that you received unless you requested and received approval for a change by the subcommittee.
Q: What are the reasons for FTE changes made to baseline and reflected in the budget?
1. Baseline to budget discrepancies for FTE previously funded by the hospital.
5. Temporary complement changes (Guide available at this link)
6. Withdrawal from existing site
Q: Who can answer questions I have about the process?
A: Questions can be directed to Troy Taubenheim at taube019@umn.edu.
