Resident Curriculum
Back to Policies and Procedures
Intent:
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Institutional Requirement (I. B. 3. h.) requires that residents' curriculum include a regular review of ethical, socioeconomic, medical/legal, and cost-containment issues that affect graduate medical education and medical practice.
Policy Statement:
Each program is responsible for the content of resident curriculum and that curriculum will be reviewed at each internal review. The Curriculum should be in compliance with Institutional Requirements to provide appropriate introduction to the topics mentioned above and in addition communication skills, research design, critical review of the literature and the skills of life time learning and scholarly pursuit.
Description:
- Each program must develop a resident curriculum that meets the Institutional and Program Requirements of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
- The program is encouraged to allow residents to participate in interdepartmental conferences designed to provide information on such issues as ethical, socioeconomic, medical/legal, and cost-containment topics.
- The Graduate Medical Education Committee will sponsor periodic programs to enhance the curriculum offering of the various programs. All programs should encourage resident participation in these activities. The Graduate Medical Education Committee will periodically review opportunities to develop those skills that cross all residency lines and promote effective patient care.
