Subject: RE: ACGME Probationary status


The ACGME is different from COCA.  COCA accredits medical schools, ACGME only looks at medical residency and fellowship training.

There are two levels of ACGME accreditation, one at the sponsorship level (Campbell University), and a second at the level of the individual residency or fellowship program (26 programs located at Conway, Lumberton, Cape Fear, Harnett, Sampson, CUSOM, and Hugh Chatham).

The Campbell University Graduate Medical Education Sponsoring Institution is in a probationary accreditation status pending greater understanding by the ACGME of our consortia model.  One of the requirements by the ACGME is that there is a public posting on our website of the accreditation status, and what it means.  You will find that under the Graduate Medical Education- accreditation status tab on the main website.

The action is only regarding the CU specific consortia governance, and not at all related to the programs we sponsor.  To be clear, the individual residency programs that have achieved accreditation through the ACGME using us as a sponsor remain accredited, can accept and graduate residents as usual. CU as a sponsor cannot submit new applications for new residency programs until the status is resolved.

To answer your specific questions,

  1.  There is no impact for Campbell University medical students.  There is also no impact to the existing trainees in our residencies and fellowships.
  2.  There is no specific offense, but rather a discussion regarding our consortia model that was approved in 2015 and remained without citation since that time until now.  Clarification of a few questions the ACGME has regarding the governance model have already been submitted.
  3.  The ACGME reviews accreditation status on an annual basis.  We have answered all their questions and await a site visit in early 2024. The next available IRC meeting that is available to us for consideration of our responses will be May of 2024.  ACGME site visits do not involve students, only residents and residency faculty.

I hope that helps to clarify and relieves any confusion.

Robin King-Thiele DO
