(June 16, 2008) AACOM and the Association of American Medical Colleges jointly sent a letter to the Chairmen and the Ranking Committee Members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees to request inclusion of text in the FY 2009 Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related Agencies Appropriations bill that would permit funds to be used for the continued operation of the Council on Graduate Medical Education (COGME). Since its inception in 1986, COGME’s diverse membership has provided the health policy community an opportunity to discuss national workforce issues and has offered important observations and recommendations that assist policymakers in adapting to the rapidly changing health care environment.
