I think that was Angelica who presented this idea as a New Coordinator on the PD/PC Panel at CORD!

We use spreadsheets on Teams that can be edited by all the residents and me to keep in touch regarding the following for each academic year.

• Flu shot date
• QuantiFERON Gold (PPD)
• Memberships and Numbers
• Institutional “Education” requirement
• Orientation requirements completed
• Graduation requirements completed
• License expirations
• ATLS – BLS – ACLS expirations
• Contracts
• Required education completed
• Courses and Conferences attended, dates, and locations
• Yearly updated CV submitted
• Research and presentations submitted
• Car Information
• ACGME Scholarly Activity

Interns submit names of faculty during their “general education” months via a shared spreadsheet so I know who to send a evaluation to for them.  We also have spreadsheets to communicate Morbidity/Mortality cases and Arthroscopy/Imaging cases for those conferences.

Now, do I have to remind them to update, yes, that happens.  But then I have the information available to me when I need it.  This is better for me than sending them long emails that they do not want to read!!  🙂  Sometimes I text a picture and ask them to update the spreadsheets.

This works out well for us but I would love to hear how, and about what, others communicate with Med Students, Residents, Fellows, and Faculty.

Also, shameless plug for the Post Conference Survey – we need to hear from you if you attended the Nashville Conference.  The link is on the Home Page.

Blessings to all,
