As part of the accreditation process, program information is collected from a variety of sources including: program-specific information provided by the program director in the Program Information Form (PIF); resident survey question responses; and information collected by field staff (site visitors) as part of the site visit. The PIF contains questions related to the CPR and questions related to specialty-specific requirements. The Common Program Information Form (PIF) effective July 1, 2007 is closely aligned with the revised CPR so that program directors can more easily plan for documenting program compliance with the requirements. .
