Major Revision of the Common Program Requirements – Stakeholder Surveys
The Common Program Requirements Major Revision Task Force is releasing multiple stakeholder surveys designed to inform the major revision of the ACGME Common Program Requirements.
- Stakeholder Survey 1 (open through October 6) addresses: scholarly activity; other learners and health care personnel; readiness for autonomous practice; burden reduction/barriers to accreditation; and general feedback.
- Note: This survey seeks input from a wide variety of roles on issues relevant to resident education; future surveys will offer similar opportunities to provide input on issues relevant to fellow education. Start Survey 1
- A PDF of the questions in this survey is available for pre-review here.
- Stakeholder Survey 2 (scheduled to be released in early November) addresses additional topics, including: work hours; competency-based medical education and time variable training; faculty ratio; dedicated time; and well-being.
Overview
The ACGME Common Program Requirements are a basic set of standards (requirements) in training and preparing resident and fellow physicians. These requirements set the context within clinical learning environments for development of the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to take personal responsibility for the individual care of patients. In addition, they facilitate an environment where residents and fellows can interact with patients under the guidance and supervision of qualified faculty members who give value, context, and meaning to those interactions.
“The ongoing research into the development of the competent, independent, practicing physician continues to shape the determinations of optimal resident education from a curricular assessment and learning environment perspective.”
