Perceptions Regarding Proposed Changes to ACGME Program Requirements for Emergency Medicine
Abstract
BACKGROUNDThe Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Review Committee for Emergency Medicine has proposed substantial revisions to residency requirements, including extending training to 48 months, mandating rotations in both high-and low-resource emergency departments, expanding procedural minimums, and requiring scholarly dissemination.Motivations include declining American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) pass rates, shorter clinical shifts and a need for broader preparedness.The impact of these changes on residents, applicants, and faculty remains largely uncertain. OBJECTIVETo assess the perceptions of EM-bound medical students, residents, and faculty regarding the proposed 2025 ACGME Emergency Medicine (EM) program requirement changes.METHODS
