Resources
Because residency programs are resource-based, CPME does not provide samples of documents that vary greatly depending on institutional resources such as resident contracts, residency manuals, rotation competencies, and affiliation agreements.
The revised CPME 370, Evaluation Team Report, includes charts for each requirement in CPME 320 and can be used as a guide for programs to create their own documents and to assess document compliance with CPME standards and requirements.
