ACGME International (ACGME-I) is proud to announce that Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in Doha, Qatar has been granted ACGME-I Initial Accreditation as a Sponsoring Institution. The accreditation decision was finalized at the meeting of ACGME-I’s Review Committees-International in January 2024, and is effective 1 July 2023. 

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.
