Hi Vicky:

We are in the midst of this process right now. Our former Fellow, from a few years ago, has been the APD.  Our current PD is stepping down for his new role as Chair.

I reached out to the ACGME for the process and was told we needed to send a request to our DIO who approved and then sent his request to the ACGME.

Once, that occurred, they reached out to our APD to being the process, updated CV, etc.

I was able to fill everything out on the ACGME ADS for him. It wasn’t bad at all. It looked just like the PD profile.

After that was submitted, the ACGME reached out to all of us, including GME and DIO, asking the DIO for a letter of support. He just sent to them on Monday.

We are now waiting for the ACGME.

We went through the process this past AY.

The request was submitted to our DIO, RRSC. We were advised to submit a letter of request noting the qualifications & stating the need for the change. We were asked to also submit an updated CV.  It was also suggested that we indicate that the current PD had accepted the position of Chair yet was well in support of the academic endeavors of our program.

The DIO entered the change in ACGME ADS and we emailed the RC with support documents. As noted, we also updated the CV fields in ADS.

We then waited for the formal approval from RC. The request was reviewed at a set RC Committee Meeting. When the approval came it indicated that the approval was retroactive to the date the DIO entered our PD into the system

Rather smooth, just a bit of waiting on the approval.

New Review Committee Dates are:

Sept 6, 2023

Jan 19-20, 2024

April 5-6, 2024

Hope this helps and also eases any concern.
