  3. Chief Residents List for 2016 2017

Chief Residents List for 2016-2017

More than 20 AUC grads were named chief residents for 2016-2017. View the list and find out who they are.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in! Since we published our updated list, we've received several additional chief resident entries! Those names have been added to the list. Additional names can be sent to us via email.

What does it mean to be named chief resident? It means that your program director has deemed you ready to handle additional responsibilities in residency training—such as mentoring and advocating for residents on your team, doing work to support overall residency program objectives, and other added leadership or administrative duties.

Generally, chief residents are selected by the director of a given residency program but are occasionally nominated by their peers. They’re usually selected based on their clinical and leadership skills.

The List: Chief Residents for 2016-2017

    AUC is accredited through 2021 by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM, www.accredmed.org), which is the accreditor used by the country of St. Maarten. The United States Department of Education, via the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA), reviews the standards that countries use to accredit medical schools. The NCFMEA has determined that the ACCM's accreditation standards are comparable to those set by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which accredits medical educational programs in the United States.
