Dear readers,
HCPro is interested in offering e-learning opportunities for residents. Does your program currently use e-learning as a part of its resident education? If so, what topics are being taught through this platform? What else would you like to see covered? Do you find it a useful and effective investment? Do your residents prefer it to printed materials?
Your valuable input will help us develop an updated electronic version of The Resident’s Orientation Handbook. Please reach out to our editor, Karen Kondilis, at kkondilis@hcpro.com with your comments and, as a thank you, you’ll also receive access to a free on-demand webinar!

| Editor's Picks Concerns over the possible advantage privately-funded medical schools have over taxpayer-funded medical schools have prompted Tennessee Rep. Matthew Hill to introduce a bill that would prohibit medical schools from purchasing residency slots from healthcare systems.  
The ACGME requires at least one resident or fellow to be a part of the program evaluation committee (PEC). You may want to start recruiting with the chief residents because they have already committed themselves to a leadership role in the program. There are five phases of candidate selection in each residency Match cycle: pre-interview, interview, post-interview, Match Week, and post-Match. This article focuses on the post-interview phase by discussing research and trending topics surrounding Rank Order Lists (ROL), what U.S. medical residency programs can and cannot control during this phase, as well as suggestions on how your residency program may be able to optimize its ROL to minimize the chances of having unfilled slots and help you end up with residents that will thrive.

Marketing Spotlight For many new physicians, residency can be a major source of stress and fatigue, which affects their ability to care for themselves and their patients. Recently, the ACGME added a Well-Being section to its Common Program Requirements. Although it is not a new problem, issues regarding physician mental health have been slow to address thanks to certain lingering stigmas.
Resident Well-Being is a tool for residency program directors, coordinators, and faculty to teach residents how to pay more attention to their self-care and understand the influence their wellness has on the care they give their patients. This resource will specifically address how to help residents with burnout, depression, stress, and achieving a healthy work-life balance. Training tools are included, as well as case studies and examples from various programs about the tools they have already implemented for resident wellness.
This book will help you: - Assess your program for resident wellness
- Identify signs of burnout and depression in residents
- Create a safe working and social environment for residents to excel
