Perspectives on ACGME Accreditation and Fellowship Training

In this episode, ASOPRS Immediate Past President, Dr. Wendy Lee, moderates a candid roundtable with Drs. Don Kikkawa, John Holds, Evan Black, and Reza Vagefi, as they discuss ACGME accreditation of fellowship training. The panel weighs external validation, standardized training, and the potential for a new ABO subspecialty certification in the setting of ACGME requirements and some program director concerns about those requirements. Both ACGME accreditation of fellowships and participation in ABO Continuing Certification are two key components of an ABMS-compliant certification. Whether you're a member or simply invested in the future of oculofacial plastic surgery, this conversation is essential listening.
