Change in case log requirements for graduation?

[BraggPeak]

Does anyone know if the case log requirements for graduation have changed? I always thought it was 450 cases (including brachy cases). However, if you log into the acgme website to log your cases and click on "resident minimums report" they say 450 external beam cases are required and they have a separate category for SRS, SBRT, peds, LDR, and HDR (meaning they count them separately from the 450 cases).

Does anyone (ARRO) know if this is a true change or typo?

That's how it's listed in the official ACGME program requirements. 450 is just for external beam:

Don't forget to do your 6 unsealed sources, 3 of which need to be oral I131 with doses >30mCi I think.

I guess that's what my question is...is that real or is that a typo? The requirement in the past has always been 450. Also the the ACGME report (resident reports by minimums) does not count SRS, peds, SBRT towards the 450 requirement. Does anyone know if this correct?

SRS, SBRT, and peds cases count towards the requirement.

There is no upper limit to SRS/SBRT/peds cases you can count to the 450 requirement.

Unsealed sourses and brachy are tallied separately.

It is clearly stated in the ACGME program guidelines that 450 external beam cases must be done. This can be found on the ACGME site under review committees, program requirements.

I know it is clearly stated. The question is that on the acme generated report provided on their website when you login under your name, they do not tally the peds and SRS cases in the ebrt count. That part, o believe, is an error on their website. Login and check for yourself.

It's an error...The 450 includes SRS, peds, and metastatic cases, which I believe are not being included in the tally.

BTW I called (the ABR? can't remember who now) once and they said they don't actually care about the activity/dose as long as it is for a therapeutic intent of some kind, not just diagnostic.
