As it stands now, the RRC has designated that the group of graduates who start in 2007 – 2008 (i.e. graduate in 2012) will
need a total Major number = 750
However, please be advised that the Board’s requirement is that the 750
will be effective July 1, 2008 so anyone applying for the exam in July
of 2009 must meet the new requirement. 8/7/2008 email - ACGME

Two residents cannot take credit as surgeon (chief and/or junior) for a procedure done on
the same patient on the same day. I understand that in the OR different residents may actually perform separate procedures, but the RRC only allows one … whichever
resident enters the case first would be able to get credit.
