For Current and Future Professionals in Medical Education
Welcome
A Message from Our Founder
When I founded Integrity MedEd, my vision was clear: to create a space where medical education professionals, especially those supporting graduate medical education, could access the tools, training, and community they need to thrive. Having spent years in the field, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges that Program Coordinators, GME Directors, and Program Leaders face in a system that often undervalues their contributions.
Integrity MedEd was built to change that. Here, we believe in affordable access to meaningful professional development, ethical leadership, and transparency in every resource we offer. Whether you’re just starting your career or a seasoned GME professional, our goal is to support your growth and evaluate the vital work you do.
Thank you for being here. I am truly honored to be a part of your professional journey.
With gratitude,
Victoria Varela, MHA

About Graduate Medical Education
Graduate Medical Education (GME) refers to the formal residency and fellowship training that medical school graduates undergo to become licensed, board-certified physicians in their chosen specialties.
What is a GME Program Administrator
A GME Program Administrator is a professional responsible for managing the daily operations of a Graduate Medical Education (GME) residency or fellowship program at a hospital or academic medical center. Some institutions may also call this role a Residency or Fellowship Program Coordinator.
