We appreciate the response from the authors regarding our publication on former American Osteopathic Association (AOA)-accredited ophthalmology and otolaryngology programs and their transition to the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). We agree that financial factors likely influenced individual graduate medical education (GME) institutions’ decision to pursue accreditation of a particular specialty program over another.
