NEW! Introducing the Improved, Redesigned ACGME.org
The ACGME is excited and proud to announce a redesign of the ACGME website, which went live earlier today. The updated site has an improved overall design, enhanced user experience and interface, and a modern look and feel.
Working with both internal and external partners, the project began with an evaluation of key data, including heat maps and real-time recordings of user experience. This helped the project team understand how people were using the website, and what elements, sections, and pages were either hard to find or not regularly accessed.
As an outcome of this effort, the website’s architecture was restructured to surface sought-after and key content and make it easier to find. A new look and feel that is clean, modern, and dynamic accompanies this reorganization, including more photos and graphics to complement content. A few key navigational areas are highlighted in this handout to help users acclimate to the new design.
The ACGME welcomes feedback and questions about the new design by email to webfeedback@acgme.org.

NEW! Resident/Fellow and Faculty Survey Multi-Year Reports Now Available
Additional ACGME Resident/Fellow and Faculty Survey reports are now available in the Accreditation Data System (ADS) for programs that participated in the 2022-2023 surveys but had fewer than four survey takers scheduled to participate. Programs will receive this multi-year report if at least four people in total completed the survey over the past few academic years.
These reports aggregate survey data across multiple reporting years, allowing the ACGME to provide feedback to programs that would otherwise not receive a report due to a smaller cohort of survey takers. Standard annual survey reports are available only to compliant programs that had at least four people scheduled to participate that year.
Access these reports by logging into ADS and navigating to the "Surveys" tab for programs or the "Reports" tab for Sponsoring Institutions (under the "Resident/Fellow and Faculty Surveys" option).
Email questions to ads@acgme.org.
