New ACGME-Accredited Program Request Policy

In compliance with the ACGME Institutional Requirements, the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) sets forth this policy to review and approve requests for new ACGME-accredited residency or fellowship training programs. The term “Training Program” refers to all proposed ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs. 

 

This policy does not apply to a non-ACGME-accredited program, or a Non-Standard Training (NST) Program (please refer to the NST Program Policy for guidance regarding these programs.) All non-NST, non-ACGME-accredited programs are administered in the appropriate clinical department and are not subject to GMEC oversight.
