The Detroit Medical Center and Providence Hospital
have joined to apply for accreditation of a new
Orthopaedic residency to start July 1, 2007.
The ACGME will notify us whether we will be accredited
on January 15, and if so, we will accept a class (PG-1)
or two classes (PG-1 and PG-2) to start July 2007.
Medical students: One of you asked this list of questions:
1)How many residents will be accepted per year?
Our application is for six per year, but the ACGME can change that before giving us accreditation.
2)Is there a curriculum schedule for each residency year?
Any program requesting accreditation must submit to the ACGME a schedule and curriculum (with goals and objectives of each rotation or experience) which meets or exceeds the requirements of the ACGME and the ABOS, and we have done that.
