The Doctors Hospital and Nationwide Children's Hospital Dually Accredited Pediatric Residency Program: A Potential Best Model for Pediatric Osteopathic GME Training.

The Doctors Hospital and Nationwide Children's Hospital Dually Accredited Pediatric Residency Program: A Potential Best Model for Pediatric Osteopathic GME Training. J Am Osteopath Assoc. 2015 Jun;115(6):390-3 Authors: Rakowsky A, Mahan J, Donthi R, Backes C Abstract With the commitment on the part of the American Osteopathic Association, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to transition to a single graduate medical education accreditation system by 2020, a legitimate concern exists about the future of pediatric residency training that maintains an osteopathic focus. The authors describe a dually accredited pediatric residency program at one of the nation's largest children's hospitals, which may serve as a potential model of how to integrate a robust osteopathic-based education into a general pediatric residency program.
