title: Quality assurance in graduate medical education: a peer review process.
abstract: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in the United States has recently required institutions with residency and fellowship training programmes to develop an Institutional Policy Review Document outlining how the educational quality of these programmes is monitored. Whereas departments may have assumed this responsibility in the past, this is clearly a function of the institution. The purpose of this paper is to describe a long-standing, effective, internal peer review process to assure quality education in an institution.
