Key Information Regarding QM Contracts and Department Chairs

Contracts are not sent to department chairs, and academic departments do not carry administrative responsibilities for QM certification.

  • Department chairs are not party to these agreements and do not receive copies of the certification contracts.
  • Departmental administration is not responsible for managing or fulfilling QM certification requirements.
