Director and accreditation manager assignments

Each clinical GME program at the Mass General Brigham hospitals is linked primarily one of the GME directors (Dr. Co, Dr. Berkowitz, or Dr. Nadel).

While Dr. John Co is the "DIO" (Designated Institutional Official) for all ACGME-accredited programs at Mass General Brigham institutions, individual programs should refer all matters requiring DIO review to the GME director and accreditation manager for their specialty.
