ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education)

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is an organization that sets standards for the training of doctors in residency programs after medical school. Its role is to ensure that these programs provide high-quality education and training, allowing new doctors to develop the skills necessary to practice medicine effectively. The ACGME also evaluates and accredits these residency programs, ensuring they meet specific criteria and continuously improve. This helps maintain high standards in healthcare and ensures that residents receive proper supervision, education, and evaluation during their training.
