What counts toward a minimum?
- Residents log each case against its CPT procedure codes, and the ACGME sorts those codes into the categories below.
- Each minimum is read in its own column: “First operator” and “Aggregate (program-entered)”.
- 12 rows carry no published number and show an em-dash, which is not a minimum of zero.
- The Review Committee for Radiology sets these requirements.
Where do these numbers come from?
