Interested in sharing your expertise with the GME community? HCPro is still looking for authors to write a book on the six ACGME core competencies. This book will be the go-to guide for residency program directors, coordinators, and medical educators on teaching, assessing, and documenting the core competencies. If you aren’t interested in serving as an author, but have ideas for the book, your feedback is appreciated. For more information, please contact editor Son Hoang at shoang@hcpro.com. |

Editor's Picks Over the years a number of studies have reported the rate of burnout, depression, and suicide among medical trainees and physicians to be higher than those in other professions.

 “I cannot count how many times I have had classmates confide in me that they were tired. And not just the I-need-to-take-a-nap kind of tired, but the kind deep in one’s bones.” HCPro’s residency survey is underway and we need your help. We need your input to help us develop the tools and information to make your job easier. Our short survey includes questions about your biggest challenges, the resources you use and want to have, and how we can keep you up to date about new resources. Indiana’s Graduate Medical Education Board, which was created during the 2015 legislative session, is about to award $5 million in grants to fund new residency program opportunities in hopes of keeping future physicians in state. The program evaluation committee (PEC) must be composed of at least two program faculty members and should include at least one resident (unless there are currently no trainees in the program). The committee must have a written description of its responsibilities.
