Non-substantive changes are those changes that require a program to notify ABPTRFE but do not require prior approval. A program undergoing a non-substantive change must notify ABPTRFE, by completing and submitting the Non-Substantive Change document through the Accreditation Management System, within 30 days of implementing the change.

A program is responsible for maintaining ongoing compliance with published Quality Standards.

The following are non-substantive changes:

  • Participant Positions: A program may add 2 or less participant positions in one calendar year.
  • Change in Leadership: A program may change its appointed program director or program coordinator.
  • Change in Practice Site or Setting: A program may add additional practice sites, or additional settings to existing practice sites to promote participant learning.
  • Addition of a New Mentor(s): A program may appoint new faculty mentors to the program.

Please contact ABPTRFE staff to gain access to the necessary notification document through the Accreditation Management System.
