So it appears that ACGME is closing down a few EM residencies one in Piedmont Macon (HCA) and another one in Garden City Michigan and in Tampa.

But its too little to late.

ACGME website (public information) shows the status as Withdrawal of Accreditation effective 6/30/2025. Use the advanced program search by specialty and state
 
Premedica Monroe Regional Hospital in Michigan lists status as Voluntary Withdrawal effective 6/30/2025.

Did not see a Tampa program withdrawn but St Joseph's Hospital - Baycare Health has initial accreditation as of 1/15/2025... with 30 residency positions!!!! and a Hotmail email address for the sponsoring institution.

Hey that was the size of my urban level 1 trauma center training program with 90k pt visits 10+ years ago. I'm assuming this place is similar (haha).
 
There's another one in vegas that just lost its' accreditation. Only reason I know is one of the higher up admins who emails us weekly with "relevant updates" included it in their email and asked if we were aware of open residency slots.

I wonder if these are programs that didn't fill. Thought it was said that programs that don't fill are at risk of losing accreditation.

You mean the one where the entire hospital sounds like a grift?

Yep. That said, who else would you expect to be popping up new programs at this point? Cheap labor to further extract every last penny from the system before the hospital invariably fails and closes? Seems like a no brainier for these leeches.

They've got an entire page about Social EM so you know they're focusing on all the right things to produce the absolute best physicians.

They must've been on the team that consulted for THE PITT.
The woke BS on there is shoehorned into every episode.
 
Garden City Hospital is a dump and I always felt bad for their residents. The place sounded like a real sweat shop. Pay was like $40k even in 2021. Probably more than one of those smaller metro Detroit programs should close, quite frankly.

I’m in the Tampa area. It’s definitely a busy place: >120k volume, level 2 trauma, etc. Also (equally as important imo) not a HCA/PE-backed hospital or CMG staffing.

With regards to program closures, I do wonder if the ACGME is truly cracking down on ****ty programs or if this is just a fluke this year. Anyone know if the closures are predominantly EM programs?
 
So according to the ACGME website they shut down 3 EM residency programs:

Piedmont Medical Center in Macon (TeamHealth)
Valley Hospital in Las Vegas (Envision)
Garden City Hospital in Detroit (Inhospital Physicians)

Promedica Medical Center in Monroe apparently voluntarily closed their residency program.

I have no idea why they were shut down other than for some reason they failed to meet accreditation standards.

I am from the area, and from what I heard Monroe was a hospital Promedica initiated change, nothing to do from the residency standpoint. Those residency slots were re-appropriated.

The other programs closing down is just a drop in the bucket, but nice to see some change in the right direction.
