Based on the expectations of Standard 4.1c, can we provide scholarships to residents and fellows?
Yes. Scholarships for Residents and Fellows fall under the purview of other organizations' guidelines and standards (e.g., See the Ethical Opinion 9.6.2 (https://www.ama-assn.org/about-us/code-medical-ethics) (d) of the Council of Ethical and Judicial Affairs of the AMA). It is not a topic addressed by the ACCME in the Standards for Integrity and Independence. The existence of such scholarships and/or the compliance by the provider in the administration of such scholarships will not be reviewed by the ACCME's accreditation process.
