What to do if residents do not report their scholarly activities
The ACGME requires programs to have evidence of residents’ scholarly activities and research. Keeping tabs on residents’ projects can be a bear of a task for coordinators.
Monday’s Poll: Training for coordinators
Given all of the comments readers left regarding Ruth’s post from last week about coordinator training, I thought it would make a wonderful poll for this Monday!
Monday’s Poll: Institute of Medicine Resident Work Hour Report
Last week, I wrote about the IOM’s recommended changes to resident work hours. The IOM report is sparking a lot of heated debate around the issue of fatigue, duty hours, and resident training.
Monday’s Poll: Spending holidays with your residents
For me, Thanksgiving and the holiday season are all about spending time with my family. None of us live in the same state, so Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only two times a year I see my family. (I’m in Boston, my parents are in Florida, my sister is in Atlanta, and my brother, who is in the Navy, is stationed in Gulfport, MS for the time being).
As I cherished the past six days I spent with my family, I thought about Ruth’s post from last week. Residents may not get to take the time off to see their family over the holidays.
Monday’s Poll: Talking turkey
I can’t help it. . . I have food on my mind! Last night, I had 10 of my friends over for a pre-Thanksgiving feast. After spending about seven hours in the kitchen, I thought this poll was appropriate. If I left your favorite off the list, write it in the comment section below!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at HCPro!

Monday’s Poll: Handling additional information from applicants
There was a lot of chatter on Residency Coordinator Chat last week about how coordinators handle updated CVs, publication lists, etc. that candidates send in outside of ERAS. I thought it would make a fitting poll!
Leave a comment below with any other solutions you have to this problem.
