The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) recently appointed Beverly Roberts-Atwater, DO, Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, to serve on its Review Committee.
“I am humbled and honored to be appointed to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Review Committee of the ACGME,” says Dr. Roberts-Atwater. “I am committed to providing support for tomorrow’s leaders and ensuring competence to the public in the area of physical medicine and rehabilitation.”
The ACGME accredits sponsoring institutions and residency and fellowship programs, confers recognition on additional program formats or components, and dedicates resources to initiatives addressing areas of import in graduate medical education.
