Institutional Requirements

Sponsoring Institution: Neurohospitalist fellowships must be overseen by a Sponsoring Institution that maintains institutional accreditation with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the Canadian Excellence in Residency Accreditation (CanERA). Programs seeking accreditation must provide a letter, signed by the Designated Institutional Official or representative, stating the Sponsoring Institution’s ACGME or CanERA accreditation is current, and that the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) or Postgraduate Education Committee has knowledge of the Neurohospitalist fellowship and has approved its application for accreditation as relevant to the Sponsoring Institution. If the Neurohospitalist fellowship program intends to offer positions to foreign national physicians working in the United States on J-1 visas sponsored by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), the letter must also include a statement verifying that the Sponsoring Institution has recognition to conduct Non-Standard Training programs by the ACGME, and that the neurohospitalist fellowship is in compliance with local requirements for NST programs.

This letter does not need to be resubmitted unless the fellowship program is newly planning to offer positions to physicians working on a J-1 visa (there will be an opportunity to do this later in this submission form).
Name of sponsoring institution:
Upload letter, signed by the Designated Institutional Official or representative, stating the Sponsoring Institution’s ACGME or CanERA accreditation is current, and that the GMEC or Postgraduate Education Committee has knowledge of the neurohospitalist fellowship and has approved its application for sponsorship as relevant to the Sponsoring Institution.
