You can find it if you trudge through the ACGME site. It's not list, though, so you have to look at each program individually.

ACGME.org
...Search Programs
...Search Accredited Program History

Then you can divine their accreditation status based on last review/next review.

Is there a way to find the specific citations a program received during it's last RRC visit other than from the program itself?

You can look on the ACGME website and see the program review length for any particular program you're interested in.

Generally, 5-year review is the best - no deficiencies. These are programs that have demonstrated that they meet the "best of the best" criteria for residency.

Then, 4-year review is the next best, usually minor deficiencies no red flags. Can probably do just a little bit of "tweaking" to get the 5-yr review next time.

After that, 3-year review where there's a lot of minor and/or maybe a one or two major deficiences. These programs may not cover all the necessary components of an effective program, but they still provide adequate training. However, you're getting on the "watch list" with the RRC at this level.

Then, 2-year review which is a program that is in big trouble and better get it's act together. These programs have major deficiencies and are at risk of going onto probation if they don't correct them.

Finally, there is "probation" (or 1-year review), which means that there are HUGE deficiencies that need immediate correction or the program is going to close (i.e., one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel).

so arkansas got a 4yr approval, from what I am recently hearing from colleagues there, coincides with changes that are actively being made for the better, of course downside is the full impact isn't immediate, but looks like a steady upswing and potential to be a very strong program. New hospital addition to the main campus should open soon, caseload of difficult cases with pretty sick patients is abundant, vascular surgery there doin tons of pretty big aortic cases, not to forget the pretty infamous nsgy dept, so lot's of good experience, more and more CRNAs finally being hired to take the extra workload off of residents, nightfloat that minimizes regular call, moonlighting pay at $50 an hour if they are there after 4pm or if they want to pick up extra hours, good group of residents that apparently get along well and look out for eachother, much better than in the years passed, call rooms that are actual clean, great regional experience with lots of blocks and caths between their main hospital and the va, chronic pain faculty apparently good natured and fun, doin loads of esi's, ablations and handful of spinal stims and intrathecal pumps , some pretty impressive pain fellowship matches too, mass,md anderson, etc.. and handful of other things here and there that are escaping me at the moment. looks like the program shows a promising future, hopefully they'll keep it up.
