Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is the body responsible for accrediting the majority of graduate medical training programs (i.e., internships, residencies, and fellowships, a.k.a. subspecialty residencies) for physicians in the United States.
The AOA also approves dual and parallel osteopathic training programs in settings that have allopathic (MD) training programs accredited by ACGME. A dual program is a residency that is accredited by both the AOA and ACGME. Osteopathic residents in dual programs receive AOA credit and may receive ACGME credit at the discretion of the ACGME program.
