Candidates for certification are required to have a total of four years of postgraduate training, which would include one year postgraduate training in one of the following broad-based programs in the United States accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or a similar program in Canada accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada:

  • a transitional year (formerly called flexible first postgraduate year), or
