Good morning, Zoe! Thank you for asking this question.

To piggyback on Zoe’s question, I would like to pose a similar question to the ARCOS community – does your program have your residents to log all of the CPT codes for any given case (i.e. if there are several procedures involved in one case, do your residents enter each of these procedures individually into ADS) or do your residents enter ‘one case’ as ‘one case’ in the case log system?

The topic of how to log cases comes up from time to time in our program.

Thank you,

Artina

Hi, Rebecca. At Wake Forest Baptist, all three of our interviews are virtual. Our first interview day is next Tuesday (Dec. 15).

@Beth – Thank you so much for your offer! 🙂 We would need masks for our 6 graduates. However, I’m sending the information that everyone has provided to our PD and administrative team so that we can decide on which design. Let me see which they want to go with. This is a really cool design! I would love to see a picture of the design that you are making this weekend!

@Lisa – Nice. Would these be available without the UF logo?

Thank you, both,
Artina

Thank you for this information, Caitlin.

Looks like LYM is doing some worthwhile things!

Good question – Regarding an Ortho theme, I was thinking about a mask that has bones on it or that has the orthopaedic symbol (symbol by Nicolas Andry) stitched on it.

For those of you who don’t access the CORD discussion board, following is a response that was posted regarding my question about surgery cancellations:

Subject: followup ABOS and ACGME
By Terrance D. Peabody, MD, FAOA on March 16, 2020

I got this from Peter Murray and David Martin

from the Board perspective

from ACGME

Thank you, Laurel and Jen, for your thorough responses.

Since my initial post, our institution has implemented the following tiered plan. We’re currently at Level 1:

Level 1: (our current level) Contact patients prior to visits to clinic and/or OR to delay surgery if elective and have fever and recent onset cough.
Level 2: Delay non time sensitive elective cases (requires departmental plan).
Level 3: All elective surgery deferred.
Level 4: All non-emergent cases cancelled. Urgent cases transfer to outlying facilities.

Additionally, elective cases were cancelled yesterday for the next 60 days at the VA where our residents rotate. Thankfully, this only impacted two residents – their schedules are being adjusted accordingly.

Thank you,
Artina
