The ACGME has released its list of residency programs under probation for the 2011-2012 year. There are a total of 56 residency program in all specialties with probationary accreditation at this time. The list, which is updated yearly, can be found on the ACGME website. Probation is a vague term and can be used by the ACGME for issues with duty hours, inadequate resident oversight, and many other accreditation problems. Most of the specific problems are not available through the ACGME and must be found out through word of mouth or chat rooms.
Not surprisingly, the specialty with the most programs under probation is general surgery. When counting general, colo-rectal, thoracic, and vascular residencies there are a total of 15 surgery programs under probation. OB/GYN follows with 5 programs under probation, orthopedic surgery has 4 programs, and surprisingly, radiation oncology has 3 programs under probation.

My name is Andrew and I am a first year resident training to be an ophthalmologist. I created ShortWhiteCoats to provide medical students, residents, and the public with all the information I spent so many hours looking for during medical school.
