At its 19 May meeting, the ACGME-I Board of Directors approved Advanced Specialty Program Requirements for pediatric surgery (integrated) residency programs and for obesity medicine/bariatric medicine fellowship programs. The Requirements were developed in collaboration with ACGME-I-accredited Sponsoring Institutions in response to global health care needs. The creation of these Requirements marks the first time that ACGME-I has developed Program Requirements for educational programs in specialties/subspecialties not currently accredited by the ACGME in the United States.

Accreditation site visits to all ACGME-I-accredited programs will ramp up in the next few years, as required visits following completion of a program’s Self-Study are scheduled. This webinar is designed if it has it been a while since a program’s last site visit, there is a new program director or coordinator who has never experienced a site visit, or for programs applying for ACGME-I accreditation or moving from Initial to Continued Accreditation.

The Call for Abstracts is open for the 2025 ACGME Annual Educational Conference! Submit a research or innovation abstract to be showcased at the largest gathering of graduate medical education (GME) professionals in the world!
