The membership of the committees continues to demonstrate the growing diversity of the ACGME-I community. Members come from eight countries across three continents, including nine ACGME-I-accredited Sponsoring Institutions. In addition, a public member and a resident member serve on each committee.

With the conclusion of both committees' long-time Chairs' terms, the new Chair of the Medicine-Based Review Committee is Sawsan Abdel-Razig, MD, MEHP; and the new Chair of the Surgical/Hospital-Based Review Committee is Paula Termuhlen, MD, FACS.
