The 2025 ACGME Survey results are in—and for some programs, the scores may have been a wake-up call.
Whether it’s resident dissatisfaction, lack of faculty engagement, or concerns about supervision, these results matter. Not only do they reflect the lived experiences of trainees and faculty, but they also have real implications: low scores can trigger citations, focused site visits, or even jeopardize accreditation.
So… what’s your next move?
Expert Tip:
Use your May GMEC meeting to formally review ACGME Survey outcomes. Discuss which programs may need additional oversight—and consider whether an External Special Review is warranted.
From Confusion to Clarity: How Partners® Can Help
If your scores fell below expectations, you’re not alone. But you don’t have to fix it alone.
Partners in Medical Education offers targeted consulting services designed specifically to help institutions:
– Understand the root causes behind low survey scores
– Identify institutional or program-specific gaps
– Build an action plan that drives improvement—and documents it for the GMEC and ACGME
Our Process
Here’s how we support institutions facing ACGME survey concerns:
- Survey Analysis & Root Cause Review
We dissect your ACGME Resident/Fellow and Faculty Survey results to spot patterns and problem areas. We’ll review APEs, ADS data, and previous actions for context. - Confidential Stakeholder Engagement
We conduct interviews and focus groups with residents, faculty, coordinators, and leadership to get beneath the data and uncover systemic issues. - Deficiency Mapping & Prioritization
We connect survey results to Common and Institutional Program Requirements—and prioritize the areas that pose the most risk or opportunity. - Action Plan Development
Together, we create a documented plan for improvement, including SMART goals, timeline tracking, and engagement strategies. - Ongoing Support & Monitoring
We don’t just walk away after the plan is written. We help implement and monitor progress—through coaching, training, and documentation.
Why It Matters
Programs that ignore survey red flags are more likely to face:
– Focused or for-cause site visits
– Citations in accreditation letters
– Resident burnout, attrition, and ongoing cultural strain
A strategic, well-supported response can turn this challenge into an opportunity for improvement and renewed trust—internally and with the ACGME.
