Editor's Picks A desired geographic location is the most important factor when applying for residency programs, according to a survey conducted by the National Residency Matching Program of active U.S. allopathic medical school seniors.
 The first step in selecting interview dates is determining the number of dates needed to create a successful rank list and garner a positive Match outcome. You can select to interview the same number each year or alter the number based on the previous year’s outcome.
We continue our coverage of HCPro’s latest survey of residency coordinators this month with a look at compensation increases in the past year, their education levels, and thoughts on certification.
HCPro is working on a pair of books, and we need your feedback! The first one is about teaching ethics to residents. Our plan is to develop a handbook that would be a quick, easy-to-read resource for residents, who often struggle to understand how to deal with ethical situations in medicine. We want to know if there is demand for this kind of book and what you would like to see included in this book.
We would also like to publish a new edition of our Graduate Medical Education Office Handbook. Again, we would like to gauge demand for this kind of book and what topics you would like to see covered.
Please email me to let us know. Thanks!
Marketing Spotlight Entering a residency program can be a daunting task but managing and seeing those residents through their educational journeys can be equally challenging for residency program directors and coordinators. Coupled with the task of educating residents on the specific rules and regulations of their individual programs, universal guidelines that apply to all programs need to be addressed as well. Unfortunately, sometimes those overarching rules and regulations, largely related to the ACGME, can get lost in the shuffle.
The Resident’s Orientation Handbook, Fourth Edition, allows program directors and coordinators to put those important, sometimes-overlooked guidelines right into the hands of their residents for reference throughout the program. The handbook’s information is universal to all ACGME-accredited residency programs, across all types of hospitals and specialties, providing tired residents with need-to-know information in a quick and convenient format.
This handbook will help ensure program directors and coordinators that their residents are aware of the guidelines they need to know and adhere to: clinical and educational work hours, milestone completion, HIPAA compliance, and much more. The book’s fourth edition also addresses new areas of focus, including resident well-being, CLER, and program evaluation committees. This book will: - Help residency program directors and coordinators place vital information into the hands of residents right from the start of the program
- Cover training guidelines that are universal to all training programs
- Assist residents in keeping important ACGME and other guidelines top of mind throughout their residency
- Outline new areas the ACGME is focusing on
