Introduction

61. - Medical residency/fellowship programs

This series comprises residency and fellowship programs that prepare physicians (MD), osteopathic physicians (DO), and podiatrists (DPM) for certification as practitioners of recognized medical specialties. These programs are approved and accredited by designated professional associations and require from one to seven years to complete, depending on the program. Residency or fellowship programs that also result in the completion of an academic degree (e.g., MS, MSc, PhD), should be reported under one of the clinical sciences codes located in Series 26. Biological and biomedical sciences or in subseries 51.14 Medical clinical sciences/graduate medical studies, rather than in a residency code located in Series 61.

61.26 - Radiology residency/fellowship programs

This subseries comprises instructional program classes 61.2601 to 61.2699.
