>>Annual Update The ADS 2017-2018 Academic Year Annual Updates will be scheduled from July through September 2017. All required data must be reported on or before a program's scheduled deadline. An initial notification e-mail will be sent to the program at the beginning of the reporting timeframe with annual update requirements. >>Revisions to the "Duty Hours/Learning Environment" Questions in the ADS Annual Update To align with the revisions to Section VI of the Common Program Requirements (effective July 1, 2017), the "Duty Hours/Learning Environment" section of the Annual Update has been revised. This section is now entitled "Clinical Experience and Educational Work." The existing questions in the section have also been revised so that terms conform with the Common Program Requirements. Three new questions have also been added. >>Year-End Case Data Verification Deadline for Graduating Residents and Fellows Specialties that require use of the ACGME Case Log System must verify data for their 2016-2017 graduates. Instructions for doing so are in the User Guide found under the Case Logs tab in ADS. The verification deadline for each specialty will display in the system 30 days prior to the due date. To view the deadline date, log into ADS, click on the Program tab, and then review the "Important Dates" section in the right-hand side navigation. |
