Overview

Effective February 2024, the ACGME Board of Directors approved a plan to initiate accreditation of combined programs, which are GME programs designed to provide residents/fellows with education in two or more specialties/subspecialties. The ACGME Combined Program Requirements are a basic set of standards (requirements) that supplement/complement the existing specialty-/subspecialty-specific Program Requirements for education of resident and fellow physicians in a particular specialty or subspecialty.

Combined Program Requirements Documents

Program applications must be initiated in the Accreditation Data System (ADS). For more information on the process to submit a program application, visit the Program Application Information web page or review this three-part course Applying for Program Accreditation, available in Learn at ACGME.

Program Requirements - Effective 9/30/2024
