Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). A residency program involves training in a specialized field of
medicine in a hospital or an institution accredited for training in
the specialty by a recognized body of the American Medical
Association (AMA) or Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education (ACGME). A fellowship program involves advanced training (beyond
residency training) in a given medical specialty in either a
