ACGME News: Fifth Pathway update

By: Julie McCoy October 23rd, 2008

Yesterday, the ACGME released a statement regarding the Fifth Pathway Program. In the announcement, the organization says they have no plans to revise Institutional Requirement II.A.1.d, which says those who have complete the Fifth Pathway Program are eligible for positions in ACGME-accredited residency programs.

Earlier this year, the AMA announced they will no longer support Fifth Pathway Program classes after July, 1, 2009. After that decision, the ACGME said they would reevaluate the future status of Fifth Pathway eligibility.

The Fifth Pathway allows students who completed 4 years at a foreign medical school to complete supervised clinical work at a U.S. medical school and become eligible for entry into a U.S. residency program.
