The ACGME is a non-profit private council that evaluates and accredits medical residency and internship programs.

"Having been deeply involved with the development of the single accreditation system for graduate medical education (GME) over the past eight years, I am looking forward to continuing to contribute to the advancement of GME through service on the ACGME Board of Directors,” Buser stated.

Buser has served UNE’s College of Osteopathic Medicine for many years in various roles, including chair of OMM, associate dean for Clinical Affairs, and interim dean and vice president for Health Services. He is currently instructing first and second year students.

His appointment to the board of the ACGME is for a three-year term.
