    1) I’ve heard many times from coordinators in other departments about the importance of building and maintaining a massive binder(s) for ACGME site visits. I have tried to get a feel for what all should be included, but I haven’t had a terrific success. I don’t want to include useless info and I certainly don’t want to omit something seemingly insignificant but in reality quite important. Thoughts on this from fellow Ortho coordinators? Checklists? Resources?

    2) I am preparing to change Program Directors at the end of the academic year. Does anyone have a checklist of all the places where this needs to be changed and maybe a checklist of everything that my current PD should ensure he transfers to the new PD.

    I also have a new PD starting July 1 and would also appreciate the same info. I thought the massive binders were just needed when we used the PIF for the site visits. Do people still put together binders for the 10 year site visits?

    I just had a site visit in Feb 2019. The Site Visitor will send a letter requesting all the information they want you to produce in that letter. I asked the Site Visitor if she wanted a binder or if I could save the documents electronically. She agreed to the electronic files as long as they were readily available and I could print out whatever she wanted. I labeled all the folders: PLAs, Block Diagram, CCC and PEC, Distance Rotations, Education Schedules, Evaluations, Faculty, Goals and Objectives, Residency Handbook, Program Director Info. It worked out great and I could find whatever she wanted readily. We did end up printing some paperwork for her, but only a few items. Now, I did make this arrangement prior to the site visit so make sure it is OK with them, before all else.

    Best of Luck,
