16 Ongoing Discussions… Can residents read cases for hospitals and/or outside imaging centers that are not officially part of the teaching program? The Review Committee determined that this activity is acceptable as long as the external cases are being used for education, supervised by program faculty, and documented.

17 Ongoing Discussions… Revision of the Pediatric Radiology Requirements The Review Committee is discussing a revision timeline for several of the subspecialty requirements. The earliest group won’t be initiated before 2017 or 2018.

18 Ongoing Discussions… New ACGME eligibility rules go into effect July 1, 2016 III.A. Eligibility Requirements – Fellowship Programs All required clinical education for entry into ACGME-accredited fellowship programs must be completed in an ACGME-accredited residency program, or in an RCPSC-accredited or CFPC-accredited residency program located in Canada. (Core) Prerequisite training for entry into the fellowship program should include the satisfactory completion of a diagnostic radiology residency program accredited by the ACGME or the RCPSC. (Core)

19 Ongoing Discussions… Radiology fellowship programs have the option of using the III.A.2 - Fellow Eligibility Exception criteria for qualified applicants who do not meet the eligibility requirements in III.A. *If exercising this exception for an AOA radiology graduate, ACGME has allowed COMLEX to be considered instead of USMLE for III.A.2.c
