Program Guide

The new Program and Practice Management (PPM) application allows you to manage your resident information throughout the year, including resident levels. With the launch of this feature, ACR staff will no longer rescore reports due to incorrect resident level.

Registration Payment


Access to the Exam is not provided until the registration is paid in full.

The recommended payment method is by E-Check, which will take around five days. Credit cards will provide immediate payment.  When paying by credit card, limit the registrations on the order to the amount that your credit card will cover. Multiple orders may be needed. Both E-Check and credit cards payments are available through the PPM. See below for a guide on setting up E-Check and credit card payments.

To pay by mail, make your check payable to ACR and mail it to:

ACR
Attn: TXIT
1892 Preston White Drive
Reston, VA 20191

Checks provided by mail may take two to three weeks to process once received by the ACR. Exams will not be provided to residents if the check payment is in the mail or being processed.

Alternate payment options (ACH or Wire Transfer) are available in the Program Guide.
