Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)

The ACGME is aiming to launch the ACGME Cloud platform this month, bringing new tools to enhance access to data and efficiency. The plan is to release ACGME Cloud | Analytics - Explore Public Data on March 31. This is the first in a series of Analytics products to be rolled out, providing a new way to access and analyze accreditation-related data. Training for this first release is now available.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

• Register for a training session at which you will learn everything you need to know about ACGME Cloud | Analytics - Explore Public Data prior to its launch.
• Additionally, visit and bookmark ACGMEcloud.org for key updates and more details, including final confirmation of launch dates.

Note that the launch and account creation dates are subject to change.

Questions? Email ACGMEcloud.org.

SINGLE SIGN-ON BEGINS APRIL 7

As part of its ACGME Cloud platform launch, the ACGME is aiming to make single sign-on (SSO) available starting April 7. To prepare, all users should plan to create an ACGME Cloud account starting on April 7 to enable SSO and access to the Accreditation Data System (ADS), as well as to future ACGME Cloud products. ACGME Cloud | Analytics - Public Data will not require SSO.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

• Verify the accuracy of your email address in ADS, since this address is a required credential for your ACGME Cloud account.
• Plan to create your ACGME Cloud account on this ADS login page or via ACGME Cloud on April 7.
• Watch a training video on the new SSO process.
• Additionally, visit and bookmark ACGMEcloud.org for key updates and more details, including final confirmation of the launch dates.

Note that the launch and account creation dates are subject to change.

To improve continued access to ADS, the number of accounts is increasing as follows:

• Sponsoring Institutions: From 3 to 8 accounts (+ the designated institutional official (DIO) account).
• Programs: From 3 to 6 accounts (+ the program director account).

Note that Institutional and Program Recognition accounts remain unchanged.

SUPPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON!

We are excited to announce ACGME Cloud Support will be available soon. This virtual support center is designed to help users get the most out of all ACGME Cloud products. Users will have access to a knowledge library of how-to articles and videos. In addition, users will be able to receive individualized assistance by submitting help requests for our support staff to resolve. The Support Center library will grow as more of ACGME Cloud is released. Check back for updates about the new Support Center launch.

For specialties and subspecialties that do not use the Case Log System, please share the following with your residents (in specialties and subspecialties that do use the Case Log System, residents and fellows already have access to these features):

The Resident/Fellow Portal provides access to profile information (with editing capabilities), Graduate Medical Education History, program-level aggregated Resident/Fellow Survey Reports, and Milestone Evaluations.

To create their Resident/Fellow Portal account, individual residents and fellows should visit https://apps.acgme.org/ads/public/residentportal/search and enter their relevant information.

Email questions or feedback regarding the Portal to ads@acgme.org.

Attention, users running Chrome, Firefox or Safari with plugins or extensions. If you are currently experiencing an incomplete User Interface (UI), please add "acgme.org" domain to your ad blocking plugin/extension whitelist. The reason for the page displaying without styles resides in the domain name having "ads" ex: apps.acgme.org/ads in which the plugin/extension reacts to "Ads".

Access to the Accreditation Data System (ADS) is encrypted and secured by a 256-bit SSL certificate to ensure the secure transfer of information.

The data you provide us will be used by ACGME for accreditation, will be maintained confidentially, and will not be distributed for commercial use. Summary data and other information about programs, institutions, resident physicians or resident physician education which is not identifiable by person or organization may be published in a manner appropriate to further the quality of GME and consistent with ACGME policies and the law. Complete information about the use of the ADS can be found in the ACGME Terms of Use. Additional information on the ACGME’s Privacy Policy can be found in the ACGME Privacy Policy and ACGME Commitment to Data Privacy.
