Courtney said it well, we also have institutional constraints.
The option to send Gift Certificates and/or swag in place of interview social events is off the table.

We will send informational links and provide virtual open houses.
Wishing everyone the best as we approach October 21st.

Our residents also use our institutional DEA.

Sorry – I misread the question. I think this may have been addressed in the OITE WebEx.

Exams@aaos.org email (dated July 15, 2020) mentioned that the Resident Roster initial review will be in early August. I am about to check the site.

Final Resident Roster Review – late September.

Can we change how we are going to do the test if they don’t allow 2 days?? This information would have been great to have when they asked us how we were going to take the test.

[ARCOS]

Will this session be recorded for those unable to attend?

Thank you,
Jessica

Starla,

At Brown we are planning on using Thalamus, our GME Department is looking at having all residency programs use it. I had a demo this morning with Jason Reminick, the CEO & Founder, I was very impressed with everything our program will be able to do with this system including inviting applicants, scheduling, scoring, inputting information from ERAS, interviewing, and it creates your rank list. Really seems too good to be true but the programs that use it, that I have spoken to, all raved about it.

If anyone is looking for a program to use I would recommend you request a demo by going to their website or by emailing Jason directly at jason.reminick@thalamusgme.com.

Thank you Vanessa. I have viewed the demo and it looks like it will be just what we need for interviews this year. I recommend all members look into Thalamus as we will all be facing virtual interviews this year.

We are in the early stages of figuring out what type of virtual rotation to offer to medical students.

Thank you Beth and Keyonna! It’s always very helpful to get a variety of samples and to see what other program are using.

[ARCOS]

Thank you Lucy – very helpful!

Thank you all for the feedback.

My job description is a little unique but I began as an Education Coordinator, then was promoted to Education Coordinator II, then Program Manager. I helped write the job description for each. It’s probably worth noting, we only have fellowships. We don’t mention TAGME for a level 1, but put C-TAGME preferred for a level 2. As Program Manager, they’d definitely like me to have my C-TAGME (taking exam this year). My institution doesn’t offer a specific incentive, though if someone had their C-TAGME would start on the higher end of the salary grade. My institution does pay for the TAGME exam and gives me time to take the exam without using PTO.

Donna, a lot of my my level 1 responsibilities include being a second contact to trainees, handling all of the CME paperwork, tracking and advertising for educational events, helping write grants, updating and creating webpage content, creating the quarterly newsletter, and assisting with the educational events we put together, creating/updating program manuals, evaluation and data tracking. This isn’t all of it but just what is off the top of my head. I have someone new now and do train her on what fellowships need but as it comes up so they aren’t completely overwhelmed.

Thank you, so much Channon! It looks like we are a little too descriptive in our first draft. Your program’s letter is more to the point.
