Description:
R2’s and R3’s would be shadowed for a period of two days once per
year. R1’s would not be shadowed
in this format due to the demands of their schedules.
On the first day of the pairing, the resident would first accompany the
faculty member as they engaged the normal activities of their day.
The days have been randomly selected to allow for variation in the
activities seen. It is hoped that
the resident will observe committee meetings, precepting, clinic sessions, lunch
meetings, administrative time, volunteering as well as clinic half days.
On the second
day, the faculty will accompany the resident on their assigned duties.
Again, the days have been randomly chosen to allow for variation in the
activities witnessed.
In
preparation, the faculty and resident would meet in the week before their
session. They could outline resident
specific objectives for the session. For
example, a resident might want particular attention paid to their efficiency in
clinic, their patient centered interviewing technique, or to their billing
practices. The overall goals of the
experience could also be reviewed.
At the end of
the two day session, the faculty member would be expected to write a narrative
report, using the ACGME core competencies and the residents stated objectives as
a guide. The report would be
forwarded to the resident’s advisor who would review it at the time of the
next quarterly.
