Fellowship listings

Various databases exist for ACGME-accredited programs including; FREIDA (AMA), ABPMR, AAPM&R, and ACGME. PASSOR maintains a listing of PASSOR member musculoskeletal fellowships which includes accredited and non-accredited fellowships. Submission forms for each of these databases can be found at their respective Web sites and offer an additional reference tool in determining basic requirements for programs.

Non-accredited programs require self-directed or institutionally supported recruiting efforts to create program awareness and attract residents. This often includes a posting on the program, practice, or institution Web site.
