Editor's Picks A majority of medical students say that COVID-19 has had no effect on their choice to pursue medicine, according to Medscape's Medical Student Life & Education Report 2020. The importance of a program coordinator extends beyond lending a supportive ear for a resident or managing resident files. The role has evolved over the years and is more in-depth. Coordinators are imperative to a program; they work diligently behind the scenes, setting up the program for success. How exactly do they do this, you ask? Our coverage of HCPro’s latest survey of residency coordinators continues this month with a look at coordinators’ compensation increases in the past year, education levels, and thoughts on certification. If you’re interested in our coverage of coordinator compensation and titles, please see last month’s edition of RPA. Marketing Spotlight The Guide for Graduate Medical Education Offices and Program Coordinators provides the office of graduate medical education (GME) and program coordinators the guidance they need to successfully run a GME program together. Author Vicki Hamm, C-TAGME, provides how-to guidance and tools for implementing ACGME Institutional Requirements, institutional policies, crafting resident/fellow contracts, managing evaluations, maintaining program accreditation, and other daily duties. This book contains sample policies and forms to customize for your institution.
This book will guide your GME operations so that you can achieve compliance with ACGME requirements; support your program directors, and faculty; and most importantly, produce trainees who become skilled physicians as they move from the educational continuum to the independent practice of medicine.
