Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER)

The Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) is a program by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) that assesses how well teaching hospitals and training programs support the education of medical residents and fellows. It examines aspects like patient safety, supervision, professionalism, and overall learning quality. The goal is to ensure that medical trainees gain comprehensive, high-quality experience in a safe and ethical environment, which ultimately improves patient care and the training of future physicians.
