Residency programs: verification and setup
How the 40% residency rate works, the whole-program requirement, and what verification checks.
Updated November 11, 2026
The residency rate
Accredited residency programs get a flat 40% off at any seat count β deeper than any volume discount. Two things keep the rate honest:
- Whole program: the rate covers your full current roster of residents β at least as many seats as you have residents currently enrolled. (Faculty seats can ride along at the same rate.)
- Verification: a short application confirms the program is real and you're part of it.
Applying
Apply at ecgweekly.com/residency with your program name, institution, your name and role, and your institutional email β personal Gmail/Yahoo addresses can't be verified, so use the .edu or hospital address.

What verification checks
We confirm the program's accreditation listing, that your email matches the institution, and your role there. Most applications verify quickly and automatically; some β very new programs, unusual domains, roles we can't confirm publicly β go to a human reviewer instead. That's normal and usually resolves within a business day or two. You'll hear from us either way.
After approval
- Your residency-rate invoice is issued automatically (net-30, PO-friendly).
- When it's paid, your group is provisioned with you as leader.
- Invite your residents β the CSV roster upload gets a whole class seated in one step. See Adding people to your group.
Common questions
- Coordinator applying on the PD's behalf? Fine β apply under your own name and role.
- Class sizes change in July? Add seats any time at the same rate; resizing down happens at renewal.
- Fellowships / non-ACGME programs? Message us β we handle these case by case.
