Important Documents

IHI Course Requirements, IHI New User Registration Instructions, Instructions for New Users to Change Affiliation, and the Program Attestation can all be found here, on the IHI Open School Training Requirements page.

Each program is responsible for collecting the documentation and verifying completion of the courses/lessons by the required deadline. DO NOT send the certificates to the GME office. If your residents and fellows completed these courses/lessons previously, either at UMMC or another institution, they should print out the summary of their transcripts as evidence of compliance of the required training. We also recommend and request that any resident or fellow who has completed courses/lessons in the IHI Open School training assure that their affiliation is updated to reflect the University of Maryland Medical Center GME. This will assure training assignments for future academic years are appropriately associated with our institution for any ad hoc reporting that may be done at an institutional level.
