Prevent ACGME citations with best practices for internal reviews.

The ACGME requires sponsoring institutions to perform internal reviews of their accredited residency and fellowship programs, designating when they must occur, what should be assessed, and who should perform them. Yet despite this guidance, the timing and sufficiency of the process are two of the most common citations programs and institutions receive during their site visits. And with the ACGME promoting self-assessment and oversight by the GMEC, the internal review is of utmost importance.

Now you can learn how your peers successfully complete their internal reviews.

Internal Review Made Simple is a book and CD-ROM set that provides an inside look into how your fellow institutions around the country perform internal reviews. With the insights provided by these field-tested practices, you can design a process tailored to the needs of your own institution. Internal Review Made Simple includes:

Key information on the ACGME requirements for internal reviews
Strategies for monitoring compliance with identified areas of concern
Discussion of key elements of the internal review process
