Residency programs must demonstrate substantial compliance with requirements established by the Review Committee for the specialty to be accredited. There are 27 Review Committees, each with specialty-specific program requirements, but all contain a subset of common program requirements (CPR) that all programs, regardless of specialty, must meet. The recently revised CPR reflect the transition from a process-oriented resident education to one of outcomes. While requirements for resources and process remain, their number and scope have been reduced, and specific competency-based requirements have been integrated. . | A c G M E Program Director Guide to the common Program Requirements updated September 2012 515 North state street Suite 2000 Chicago Illinois 60654 Residency programs must demonstrate substantial compliance with requirements established by the Review Committee for the specialty to be accredited. There are 27 Review Committees each with specialty-specific program requirements but all contain a subset of common program requirements CPR that all programs regardless of specialty must meet. The recently revised CPR reflect the transition from a process-oriented resident education to one of outcomes. While requirements for resources and process remain their number and scope have been reduced and specific competency-based requirements have been integrated. As part of the accreditation process program information is collected from a variety of sources including program-specific information provided by the program director in the Program Information Form PIF resident survey question responses and information collected by field staff site visitors as part of the site visit. The PIF contains questions related to the CPR and questions related to specialty-specific requirements. The Common Program Information Form PIF effective July 1 2007 is closely aligned with the revised CPR so that program directors can more easily plan for documenting program compliance with the requirements. During a site visit ACGME Field Staff or Specialist Site Visitors interview the program director faculty residents fellows clinical department leadership the designated institutional official DIO and other relevant individuals tailoring questions to the individuals interviewed. The goal is to verify the information in the PIF and to clarify any missing or unclear information by seeking to achieve consensus across all participants and other sources of information. On occasions when a consensus cannot be achieved at the end of the site visit the Site Visitor reports the different comments
