(CLER) Clinical Learning Environment Review
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) recognizes the public's
need for a physician workforce capable of meeting the challenges of a rapidly evolving
health care environment. The ACGME has responded to this need by implementing the
CLER program as a part of its Next Accreditation System.
About the Program
The CLER program is designed to provide US teaching hospitals, medical centers, health
systems, and other clinical settings affiliated with ACGME-accredited institutions
with periodic feedback that are addressed within 6 focus areas.
The feedback provided by the CLER program is designed to improve how clinical sites
engage resident and fellow physicians in learning to provide safe, high quality patient
care.
The only accreditation requirement associated with this new program is that each SI
must undergo a CLER visit every 24 to 36 months to maintain accreditation.
