    Graduate Medical Education & Residency Accreditation

    Nixon Peabody services hundreds of GME programs across the country and around the world, with our reputation and comprehensive industry knowledge setting us apart from other consultants and advisors.

    Overview

    We have successfully handled hundreds of accreditation matters for healthcare providers, medical and professional schools, academic medical centers, and GME institutions and programs. We work closely with program directors, faculty, and administrators to develop and conduct seminars to continually educate their residents and faculty on emerging topics in the field. Our team has extensive experience—from challenging adverse actions taken by accrediting bodies, GME reimbursement, and licensure issues, to national resident matching program disputes, and closure or mergers of institutions. Clients can turn to us at key moments in their accreditation lifecycle, as both a partner and an extension of their team.
