ACGME Requirements
The Department of Medicine at Upstate Medical University is accredited by the ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education). In the Infectious Disease Fellowship, we hold our Fellows to a high standard, meeting the guidelines of this accreditation.
The ACGME has very strict Program Requirements that must be followed in order to receive accreditation. Due to our strict adherence to the policies, the Department of Medicine at Upstate Medical University is one of few programs nationwide to receive a rare six-year accreditation. The typical maximum length of accreditation given is five years.
