The primary purpose of the GME Float Administrator is to ensure continuity of key operations of UW Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited residency and clinical fellowship programs when a program administrator vacates the position or takes an extended leave from the program. The GME Float Administrator (Program Operations Specialist (E S 8)) position is housed within the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) Graduate Medical Education (GME) Office but will be partially assigned to one or more ACGME-accredited training programs within clinical departments of the UWSOM in order to support the day-to-day administration of residency/fellowship training programs. Specific duties may vary depending on when the Float Administrator is supporting the program along the academic year calendar.  The Float Administrator may also support non-ACGME clinical fellowships within the UWSOM.

The Float Administrator will be responsible for serving as a liaison between the Program Director, associate program directors, residents/fellows, the GME Office, participating training sites, and other departments, and must be knowledgeable about patient care/operational activities at the various training sites in which the residents/fellows rotate. This position may also assist in assessment of program operations, including making recommendations for operational/quality improvements.  Additionally, when time is available, the Float Administrator will serve as a mentor for both new and current program administrators and provide additional operational support to the GME Office.
