Barton Health established a Graduate Medical Education (GME) Department in 2015 to promote the quality of graduate medical education for advanced practice professional students, medical students, residents and fellows.

The GME Department ensures a high-quality learning and work environment, the educational experience leads to measurable educational outcomes in all specialties and disciplines.

Each NP or PA student, medical student, and resident is managed by the GME Office to ensure all Barton Health requirements are met including: an affiliation agreement with their approved program, background check, letter of good standing, current Certificate of Liability, necessary acknowledgements, and immunization records.

Preceptors must be members in good standing on Barton Memorial Hospital's Medical Staff, and are willing to follow the guidelines provided by the student’s school. All requested rotations are approved by the GME Department, in coordination with the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC).
