For a new program, out of curiosity, how many years is a program accredited for initially? 5 years?

Thanks,

You could just go here and find out for the program(s) you're actually curious about.

ACGME accreditation is now a continuous process. There isn't really an end date. We are evaluated every year, and if there are serious enough problems, accreditation can be removed -- although the ACGME gives you plenty of chances to fix it first.

That is actually a pretty neat site. Hadn't seen it before. Even learned some stuff about my own program.
