Education Experimentation and Innovation

Note: ACGME Common Program Requirements appear in bold.

• Since responsible innovation and experimentation are essential to improving professional education, experimental projects supported by sound educational principles are encouraged.
• Requests for experimentation or innovative projects that may deviate from the program requirements must be RRC prior-approved and must include the educational rationale and a method for evaluating the project.
• The sponsoring institution and program are jointly responsible for the quality of education offered to residents for the duration of such a project.
