Pediatric Urology · ACGME specialty 485 · minimums effective February 2024.
Capnolog counts these live for anesthesiology and neurological surgery; other specialties are reference only.
What counts toward a minimum?
- Fellows log each case against its CPT procedure codes, and the ACGME sorts those codes into the categories below.
- Every number is a count in one column, “Any of Surgeon, Assistant, or Teaching Assistant”.
- 36 rows are drawn from a larger row: those cases count toward that row too, never on top of it.
- 21 rows carry no published number and show an em-dash, which is not a minimum of zero.
- The Review Committee for Urology sets these requirements.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Case Log categories and minimum numbers, February 2024
- Program Requirements, July 1, 2026
