Effective October 2023, the ACGME has officially discontinued 10-Year Accreditation Site Visits for programs. While the Self-Study is still required, it will no longer be linked to or reviewed during a site visit. All program 10-Year Accreditation Site Visit and Self-Study dates have been removed in the Accreditation Data System (ADS).
The Site Visit and Self-Study sections of the ACGME website have been updated to reflect these changes. The ACGME Manual of Policies and Procedures reflects these changes as well.
Previously, all programs with a status of Continued Accreditation, Continued Accreditation with Warning, and Continued Accreditation without Outcomes were assigned both a Self-Study and a 10-Year Accreditation Site Visit date. The review of the program Self-Study was then incorporated into the 10-Year Accreditation Site Visit process. Between March 2020-October 2023, program Self-Studies and 10-Year Accreditation Site Visits were postponed and delinked.
Note: The Sponsoring Institution Self-Study and 10-year Accreditation Site Visits will continue according to the plan outlined on the Institutional Self-Study page of the ACGME website.
