How to Apply

  • One individual from a Prospective Residency Program logs into SurveyMonkey Apply (SMA) and registers at https://ancdsbre.smapply.us/
    • This person will receive an email to confirm their email address
  • This person will then receive a second email with a link to log back into SurveyMonkey Apply and complete the online Intent to Apply for Residency Accreditation (IARA) form
    • When completing the IARA, there will be an opportunity to invite collaborators to work on the IARA
  • After submitting the IARA, the Prospective Residency Program will receive an invoice to pay the IARA Fee
  • Once the IARA Fee has been received, the IARA will be reviewed and, if accepted, the person submitting the IARA will receive an email invitation to complete and submit an Application for Residency Accreditation (ARA)

Prior to applying for ANCDS BRE accreditation, it is strongly recommended that all collaborators carefully read the application instructions, which can be found here. Drafting application responses in a word processing program will facilitate editing prior to copying and pasting final responses into SurveyMonkey Apply. A pdf of the blank application is available by clicking here.

It is important to know that in SurveyMonkey Apply (SMA) the ARA will only accept plain text. This limits the styles (e.g., underlining, italics, lists) that are available to applicants if they type directly into the ARA or when the responses are drafted in a word processing program and pasted into the ARA. When lists or outlines with sublevels are created in a word processing program and pasted into the ARA, the sublevels will not be indented and most formatting such as tabs, indents, and blank spaces all become left justified. Applicants who wish to use indents or tabs or create a multilevel outline to present responses do have options. A method of creating easy to read indented and/or outlined text is to insert leading periods at the beginning of a line. Instructions for how to do this on a Windows platform can be found here. Instructions for how to do this on a Mac can be found here.
