Updated at 05/16/25 09:19

The Medical Residency Commission (COREME) and the Multiprofessional Residency Commission (COREMU) are bodies responsible for coordinating, supervising, and evaluating medical and multiprofessional health residency programs, respectively. Linked to the Federal University of Jataí and healthcare services, these commissions ensure the quality of resident training, ensuring that the activities carried out follow the guidelines established by the Ministry of Education (MEC).

COREME and COREMU's main role is to organize, supervise, evaluate, and ensure the quality of medical residency programs (COREME) and multiprofessional health residency programs (COREMU).

Both are responsible for planning pedagogical activities, monitoring residents' performance, ensuring compliance with the curricular guidelines established by the MEC, and overseeing the integration between teaching, service, and community. Additionally, they are involved in the selection of preceptors, evaluating practice fields, and resolving conflicts related to residents' training.

COREME was created by Law No. 6,932 on July 7, 1981.
This law outlines the legal foundations for medical residency in Brazil. It established that each institution with a medical residency program should have a commission to coordinate and supervise these programs.
Medical Residency was established by Decree No. 80,281, on September 5, 1977, and grants the resident physician the title of specialist. This program is accredited by the National Medical Residency Commission (CNRM) and the Medical Residency Commission (COREME) of the Federal University of Jataí.
The responsibilities of COREME (Law No. 6,932/1981, CNRM Resolution No. 01/2018, and other regulations from the Ministry of Education (MEC) through the National Medical Residency Commission (CNRM)) include:

Developing and supervising medical residency programs in accordance with CNRM guidelines and the institution’s needs.
Ensuring the quality of the education offered in the programs, ensuring that practical and theoretical activities comply with required standards.

COREMU was established with the creation of the multiprofessional health residency program, formalized by the Interministerial Ordinance MEC/MS No. 1,077, on November 12, 2009.
The ordinance regulates the structure and functioning of multiprofessional programs and establishes the need for a commission responsible for their management and quality.
The Multiprofessional Residency program is intended for the specialization of other health professionals, providing in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in a specific area of practice. This program follows the guidelines set by the National Multiprofessional Residency Commission in Health (CNRMS) and the Multiprofessional Residency Commission (COREMU) of the Federal University of Jataí (UFJ).
The responsibilities of COREMU (CNRMS Resolution No. 1, July 21, 2015) include:
