Soundbooth Friday: A tool for GME offices to provide program oversight
In the February issue of Residency Program Alert, I wrote an article about the coordinator’s role in creating, distributing, and collecting the annual program evaluations residents complete per ACGME requirements.
As I researched the topic, I discovered that many GME offices use their programs’ annual program evaluations as a yearly check up. I came across a great annual program evaluation checklist created by the GME office at Albert Einstein School of Medicine. I gave GME administrator Linda Collazzi a call and asked her about their tool.
With 73 programs to monitor, Collazzi said they needed an easy way to get a peek at what’s happening in each program every year. They decided to use information taken from each program’s annual program evaluation. But, because annual program evaluations can be lengthy, Collazzi and her DIO created their checklist for program directors to fill out using information from their annual review. This saves countless trees, and gives Collazzi’s office the information it needs to ensure their programs are complying with all ACGME regulations.
If you’re interested in checking out the form, you can download it from our Forms and Documents page.
Listen what Collazzi has to say about how they developed the form and follow up with program directors when the checklist reveals there are problems.
