I sent the following email to the ACGME hoping for some clarification regarding program closing:
Hello
I am the administrator at an online community for neurosurgery, http://neurosurgeryhub.org . We recently learned of a program closing and there has been much questioning and speculation as to what happens next. Would it be possible for someone to please clarify:
1) What actions may lead to a program closing (perhaps historic examples)?
2) What happens to the residents who are currently in that program? Does their funding from medicare come with them? Does the program they join have to have an empty position or can they be an additional resident to the compliment?
3) What happens to the medical students who just matched to that program? Do they have to re-enter the match? Are they treated similar to current residents and able to move to another program.
Thank you for the clarification.
The reply I received encouraged individuals with questions to contact the neurosurgery executive RC either via phone or e-mail. The contact information can be found at the ACGME website http://www.acgme.org/Specialties/Overvie...al-Surgery Sorry I couldn't be of more help guys.
