About.

The ACPSE was established in 2016 as an accrediting body to evaluate and accredit the training and competency of facial plastic surgery fellowship programs.

The Accreditation Council for Post-Residency Specialty Education embraces the standards exemplified by the ACGME and the AMA and has been established to provide oversight of advanced Facial Plastic Surgery training of physicians who have completed ACGME approved residencies in Otolaryngology  or plastic surgery.

The objectives and purpose of the ACPSE is to accredit and renew fellowship training programs in accordance with the high-quality facial plastic surgery program requirements.​
