Accreditation
Council for Graduate Medical Education
(ACGME)
Neurosurgical training programs
in the United States are reviewed
and accredited by the Residency
Review Committee (RRC) for Neurological
Surgery under authority delegated
to it by the Accreditation Council
for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
The ACGME is sponsored by the American
Board of Medical Specialists, the
American Hospital Association, the
American Medical Association, The
Association of American Medical
Colleges, and the Council of Medical
Specialty Societies. The RRC consists
of six neurosurgeon members, two
representatives from each of the
following: the American Board of
Neurological Surgery, the American
Medical Association, and the American
College of Surgeons. The ABNS does
not accredit training programs.
A list of programs accredited by
the ACGME, including detailed information
about each program, is published
annually by the American Medical
Association in the Graduate Medical
Education Directory obtainable in
most medical libraries or from the
AMA, 535 North Dearborn Street,
Chicago, IL 60610.
