Live blog: When to bring in a third party during remediation discussions
This morning is off to another great start at the 4th Annual Residency Program Management Workshop.
Franklin Medio, PhD, just finished his session on remediation, which was full of great information for attendees!
Part of the discussion focused on whether program directors should have a third person sit in on meetings regarding a resident’s performance issues. Although some people think having another person involved will intimidate the resident, according to Medio, it is always a good idea that a third party attend that meeting to take notes about the conversation. The program coordinator is a great person to bring in, and he or she should record any and all important details that come out of the meeting.
If you chose not to have a third person in the meeting at first, Medio suggests calling the coordinator in if the resident chooses not to sign a document summarizing the conversation, remediation plan, etc. Simply write on the document that Dr. X refused to sign the document, and that Mrs. Y, program coordinator, witnessed that the meeting took place and that Dr. X refused to sign the document.
Have to get into the next sessions, but I will report more soon.
