Hi guys,
Are most fellows credentialed through the GME?
I'm completing a fellowship and was NOT credentialed through GME. In my reappointment letter, one of my titles is "Assistant Attending."
Is there any functional difference to being an "attending" while in fellowship (credentialed through medical staff), as compared to being credentialed through the GME?
I do know that fellows in other divisions are entitled to certain benefits including a meal card, etc., which I do not have. But are there any other differences? And how common is it for fellows to NOT be credentialed via GME?
Just curious!
