First year resident, Kayley Swope, has been appointed as resident member to the ACGME Review Committee for Family Medicine.
The ACGME defines the Review Committee as a committee that handles the accreditation activities for a specialty or sponsoring institution and functions according to ACGME policies and procedures. It is comprised of 7-20 volunteers and meets 2-4 times per year. The Review Committee’s function is to set accreditation standards and to provide a peer evaluation of residency/fellowship programs in its specialty and accompanying subspecialties. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess whether a program or sponsoring institution substantially complies with a published set of educational standards and to confer an accreditation status to programs and sponsoring institutions substantially meeting those standards.
Congratulations Dr. Swope!
