My site visit will occur before the RC determined next date. How should I time my internal review to be at the mid-point between site visits?
The ACGME also receives questions about the timing of the internal review when site visit dates are moved up at the request of the program or the ACGME. The Institutional Requirements state that the internal review should be conducted approximately at the midpoint between the last RC review and the next site visit. When the visit is moved up, and the internal review has not yet occurred, the Institutional Review Committee expects programs to perform an internal review as soon as possible, even when this places it in proximity to the site visit date. When an internal review occurs under these circumstances, the reason should be documented in the summary that is included in the Institutional Review Document.
