GME programs must be prepared for periodic on-site visits to assess compliance with Institutional and Program Requirements. Accreditation and recognition site visits will be conducted by ACGME Accreditation field representatives using remote technology; however, sponsoring institutions and programs will be notified when a site visit should be conducted in person. There are several types of GME site visits and include the following:
- Program Applicants
- Sponsoring Institutions and Programs with Initial Accreditation
- Continued Accreditation: Annual Data Review Site Visit
- Continued Accreditation: 10-Year Accreditation Site Visit
- Probationary Accreditation
- Complaint
- Other Site Visits, (such as JCAHO) upon request
