Overview
The ACGME invites comments from the community of interest regarding the proposed Requirements listed below.
For details and policies regarding the ACGME process for review and approval of requirements, see Section 10.00 of the ACGME Manual of Policies and Procedures.
Procedures
Comments must be submitted electronically using the form below by the date indicated. Any responses that do not address the requested information, or which are submitted in a format other than indicated will not be considered.
Individual responses will not be provided to comments that are submitted in the review and comment process. All comments will be considered before Requirements are finalized and approved. Note that the ACGME review and comment process often reveals areas where community opinion is divided. All points of view are considered when determining whether modifications of the proposed Requirements are warranted.
For specialty/subspecialty Program Requirements, Review Committees are not permitted to alter Common Program Requirement language, which appears in bold font. Therefore, comments are invited only on requirements not in bold font.
For interim revisions (formerly called focused revisions), only the section(s) of the Requirements being revised are open for review and comment.
