THE VALUE OF ACCREDITATION

The ACGME’s accreditation model and processes ensure and improve the quality of
graduate medical education in the United States. This in turn assures the public
that today’s residents and fellows are learning and training in a setting that
is preparing them to deliver safe, high-quality medical care today and in their
future practice.

Common Program Requirements


ARE ALL RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS IN THE US ACGME-ACCREDITED?

No. ACGME accreditation is a voluntary process programs and the institutions
that sponsor them choose to complete. There are residency and fellowship
programs that are not accredited by the ACGME. In some cases, this is because
the ACGME does not yet accredit a particular specialty or subspecialty. In other
cases, programs and/or institutions have opted not to apply for accreditation
from the ACGME. Residency programs that are not accredited by the ACGME do not
receive Medicare funding from CMS for Direct Graduate Medical Education (DGME)
and Indirect Medical Education (IME).

ACGME FAQs


DOES THE ACGME ACCREDIT US MEDICAL SCHOOLS?

No. The ACGME only accredits GME programs and the institutions that sponsor them
(“Sponsoring Institutions”). The Liaison Committee on Medical Education
(LCME) accredits US allopathic medical schools and is sponsored by
the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Medical
Association (AMA). US osteopathic medical schools are accredited by
the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) of the American
Osteopathic Association (AOA).
