Residency Programs Facing Accreditation Changes

"Financing Graduate Medical Education — Mounting Pressure for Reform",
by John K. Iglehart, NEJM: Perspective, March 21, 2012.

“A significant step forward is the announcement by the ACGME [Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education] describing major changes in how the nation's residency programs will be accredited in the future, putting in place an outcomes-based evaluation system by which new physicians will be measured for their competency in performing the essential tasks necessary for clinical practice in the 21st century.” ~ Dr. Darrell Kirch, chief executive officer of the AAMC.
