ACGME Fellowship Application
For several years now, the SOAP Board has reaffirmed the decision to pursue
Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation of
training in Obstetric Anesthesiology. The rationale for this decision is outlined
in the document “Recommendation for ACGME Accreditation of Obstetric
Anesthesiology”. It is important to note that with this application we
are asking the ACGME to accredit and insure uniform training standards in our
specialty through the Residency Review Committee process. It does not mean
that we are requesting credentialing of obstetric anesthesiologists – although
as part of this process we will need to also consider the option of credentialing
in about 10 years.
There are two documents that we are asking for you to review
and make comment upon. The first is the "Recommendation for Accreditation of
Obstetric Anesthesiology by the ACGME” the second is the “Program
Requirements for Training in Obstetric Anesthesiology” that programs
will need to adhere to. The case minimums in the Program Requirements where
derived from a survey of obstetric anesthesiology training programs. We need
your help and input to make this a success. Please EMAIL me at ASANTOS@OCHSNER.ORG with
your suggestions. A special word of thanks to the members of the Task Force
on ACGME Accreditation and the Education Committee for their hard work
on this project.
