Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is the body responsible for accrediting the majority of graduate medical training programs (i.e., internships, residencies, and fellowships, a.k.a. subspecialty residencies) for physicians in the United States.
A parallel program is an AOA-approved training program that is conducted alongside an ACGME program in the same specialty and hospital. The programs and trainees in parallel programs are separately approved and registered by their respective accrediting body, the AOA or ACGME.
