Transfer Residents
Q. If I accept a transfer resident into the program, are there procedures that should be followed?
A. Yes. Prior to accepting the resident, the program director must receive written verification of the resident's
previous educational experiences and a statement regarding the performance evaluation of the
transferring resident.
The RC does not ask to be notified of the acceptance of a transfer resident, provided you have an open
position for the resident.

Q. Our program would like to transfer sponsorship to another institution. What is required for this
type of change?
A. Transfer of sponsorship requires a letter from the program™s current sponsor (the DIO and the institution™s
senior administrative official) indicating willingness to give up sponsorship, and a letter from the proposed
sponsor (the DIO and the institution™s senior administrative official) indicating willingness to sponsor. The
letters should be addressed to the Executive Director of the program™s RC, with a copy to the Director of
the Department of Field Activities.
Many RCs require a site visit prior to a transfer of sponsorship, and programs and institutions planning to
transfer sponsorship should contact the Executive Director of the program™s RC before initiating the
process. Upon transfer of sponsorship, the name of the program changes to that of the new sponsor in all
ACGME records.

Regarding Resident Transfer from Program to Program and Completion of Residency Training:
The R.R.C. approved the use of the American Board of Ophthalmology's (ABO) Program Director's Checklist for
Residents "Satisfactory Completion of Residency Training." In addition, an ABO form for "Interim Evaluation of
Resident Changing Programs" was approved for residents who transfer programs. Please contact the ABO
directly for additional information or to obtain the form (610.664.1175).
