Our Mission

After our successful Founders' Forum in May, the Alaska GME Council is set to launch September 9, 2025.
The purpose of the Alaska GME Council is to improve the access to quality healthcare for all Alaskans by increasing recruitment and retention of well-trained physicians via stabilizing and increasing the programs and opportunities for training physicians in post-graduate education within the state.
