ACGME has introduced a new identity and access management system that allows users to securely sign on to all ACGME products (ADS, Case Logs, etc.) with one set of login credentials. This launch will require all existing users to set up an account using their email address, which ensures secure, personalized access to the new ACGME Cloud platform and its products.
Important: To create an ACGME Cloud account, you must have been previously granted access by your organization's leadership and use the email address associated with your role in ADS. An organization is defined as an ACGME accredited (or applying) Sponsoring institution or program.
SMS/text and authenticator app are also offered as multi-factor authentication methods (in addition to email). The video and steps below use email as the multi-factor authentication example. All users will be given the following choices:
