INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROGRAM INFORMATION FORMS FOR PROGRAMS IN PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGY
The same program information form (PIF) is used for those making initial application and those undergoing periodic re-review. This program information form is to be used in conjunction with the Program Requirements for Residency Education in Pediatric Endocrinology, effective July 1, 2000.
Applications: The RRC will evaluate an application for a new program without a prior site visit. Contact the RRC office for deadlines. Note that a subspecialty program must function in conjunction with a fully accredited program in pediatrics that is in good standing.
Title: The title of a subspecialty program should correspond to the title of the core pediatrics program to facilitate cross referencing. The official name of the core program and ID number may be obtained from the institution or from the director of the core pediatrics program.
Refer to Program Requirements in the Subspecialties of Pediatrics II.A.Sponsor: Identify as the SPONSORING INSTITUTION that entity which
has final administrative responsibility for the program, as evidenced by the fact that it monitors the quality of the education and coordinates the accreditation activity. This must be the same sponsor as for the core pediatrics residency. If the SPONSORING INSTITUTION and the PRIMARY HOSPITAL are one and the same, the hospital's name should be entered in both sections.
Before work is begun on this form, the Program Requirements for Subspecialties of Pediatrics and the Program Requirements for Residency Education in Pediatric Endocrinology should be thoroughly reviewed. Copies of these documents may be obtained from the ACGME website (www.acgme.org).
If more than one hospital participates in the program, information on each hospital should be given as requested. The program director is responsible for gathering the requested data from the participating institutions and consolidating the information on one form.
The total length of time subspecialty residents are assigned to each participating hospital should be filled in as requested on Pages 1 and 2.
If the subspecialty residents in your program rotate for a period of time to another accredited
Pediatric Endocrinology program, please refer to Institutional Requirement I.C. regarding letters of agreement.
