Medical Residency/Fellowship Programs

Programs that prepare allopathic physicians (MD), osteopathic physicians (DO), and podiatrists (DPM) for certification as practitioners of recognized medical specialties. These programs are approved and accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) and require from one to seven years to complete, depending on the program. Residency programs that also result in the completion of an academic degree (e.g., MS, PhD), should be reported under one of the clinical sciences codes located in Series 26, 51.05, or 51.14, rather than in a residency code located in Series 61. These CIP Codes are not valid for IPEDS reporting.
