ACGME imposes stiffer standards for subspecialties
Article Abstract:
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has changed its accreditation guidelines for recognizing subspecialties. For example, new specialties must include at least 40 residency programs instead of 25. In addition, the specialty must represent a body of knowledge, not just a few procedures. There would also be provisional, five-year accreditation for new specialties. About half of currently certified subspecialties do not meet the new residency program requirement.
