New ACGME-Accredited Program Request Policy, Addendum and Request Form

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.
