Musculoskeletal Oncology · ACGME specialty 270.
Capnolog counts these live for anesthesiology and neurological surgery; other specialties are reference only.
What counts toward a minimum?
- Fellows log each case by procedure code and by their role in it.
- Every number is a count in one column, “Any role”.
- 1 row is drawn from a larger row: those cases count toward that row too, never on top of it.
- The Review Committee for Orthopaedic Surgery sets these requirements.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Case Log categories and minimum numbers, November 2015
- Program Requirements, July 1, 2026
Capnolog is independent of the ACGME. Where a number here and the ACGME's own document disagree, the document is right.
