Deans of GME
The Ohio State University College of Medicine’s 150+residency and fellowship programs strive to be the best training programs in the country, meeting and exceeding accreditation standards set forth by the various GME accreditation organizations. Currently, over 75 of our programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), a private, non-profit organization that reviews and accredits graduate medical education (residency and fellowship) programs, and the institutions that sponsor them, in the United States.
The Graduate Medical Education Committee at Ohio State University College of Medicine ensures that all programs, regardless of the accrediting body, meet the high standards set forth by the ACGME as part of the Next Accreditation System (NAS). This includes making certain that both the institution and all training programs are meeting established expectations to guarantee that residents and fellows demonstrate proficiency in the six ACGME core competencies during their graduate medical education training.
Other organizations that accredit The Ohio State University programs include UCNS, CAST, CODA, APA, ASFPSandCPME.
