Common accreditation and educational problems in obstetrics-gynecology residencies.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredits U.S. institutions that offer graduate medical education, including that in obstetrics and gynecology. The ACGME's 23 Residency Review Committees (RRCs) monitor these programs. The RRC for obstetrics and gynecology has identified 18 common problems in obstetrics-gynecology residency programs. Upon identifying one or more of these problems in an obstetrics-gynecology residency program, the RRC can withdraw accreditation or grant probation or continued probation.
