Congratulations for taking the first step in initial accreditation by applying for, and seeking, candidacy from ABPTRFE. ABPTRFE strives to provide comprehensive support to Program Directors throughout this 23 month long process. This Candidacy Workshop is designed to familiarize you with the process and provide helpful hints as you prepare the initial Self-Evaluation Report and corresponding Exhibits. Throughout this workshop, we will review the steps in seeking candidacy and offer some guidance to provide programs with the best possible opportunity for success.
