Hello!

My PD, Dr DiPasquale, has always wanted in-person interviews for residency.  In the last GMEC meeting, he made a motion that all residencies in our institution should have the opportunity to decide for themselves.  The motion was passed, pending any possible health crisis that should arise (#pandemic).  For us, we expect to have in-person interviews for residency but Zoom interviews for our two fellowships.  Using the virtual interview platform for fellowships has worked great for us and busy residents seem to appreciate it also.

Hey Laura!

You could always add your mom to the poster credits!  Hahahah!

Here’s another resource that might help your anxiety:  https://www.anl.gov/education/guide-to-effective-poster-design

Also, Beth’s presentation on posters will inspire anyone.  She is really a joy to listen to on any subject!  Check it out at https://arcosonline.org/past-event-recordings/   Scroll to the bottom to see Beth’s link.

Maybe you want to do a presentation for the Patsi Furr Coordinator Spotlight instead??!!

Hope you and others are feeling INSPIRED!!  I can’t wait to see what you all come up with for the March 2023 meeting in LVNV!

I’ll get the links together soon!

Hey Michelle,

When I am looking for plaque ideas, I search online.  But I also like to use a poem or message that is personal and/or the Tree of Andry.  The last stanza of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost has been a favorite of mine forever.  A local Trophy Shop would be glad to help you with ideas, too.

Hi Tica!!

Attached are the certificates that I use for my Hand and Trauma fellows as a PPT file.  After I edit I save it to PDF and send to a local printer who prints in on “nice certificate paper” in the appropriate size for a medical graduation certificate.  I get these framed so it’s better if you get it a more standard size.  And yes, there is a constant battle over the “a” in orthopaedics at my institution so…..

Hey All,

Attached is our monthly schedule which is tweaked when we have special opportunities for residents and fellows.  Our Thursday Night Journal Club is once per week and supported by a rep at a local restaurant.  We focus on 2 specialties per month at the journal club.  All resident education is mandatory, we use attendance sheets, Chief Resident and Faculty disapproval for missing it – and no one wants that!  Yes, there are times a resident could be excused by contacting the chief but it is rare.  Education takes place each weekday morning, with a faculty member facilitating 0630-0730 and 0600-0900 on Fridays.  Interns complete their surgical skills during the month of October at Johns Hopkins with several other residencies.

I like Monica and Kim’s OITE Review Mondays – great idea!  We usually include it in daily education during the week prior to November, but maybe more dinners should be added.  🙂

Hi Erin,

Here is the list that we put together.  It is very basic but the last two items set the tone.  Hope this helps!

Rochelle,

Thanks for sharing your manual!

I am going to use it!  Also the template you used is the same for our Resident Handbook!  It’s really nice for me how that worked out! 😉

David,

In our program, we do not complete milestones for every rotation.  We have 3 month blocks and there is an evaluation (Using OrthoBullets Eval Master) midway through the rotation and a final rotation evaluation based on core competencies at the end of the rotation using New Innovations.  The CCC discusses each resident at twice yearly meetings, using all the evaluations we have collected during the previous 6 months, and using OrthoBullets determine if the milestones generated by that program are appropriate for each resident.  In the end, OrthoBullets populates the milestones for us that we use to complete the milestones twice per year with any information acquired by our quarterly evaluations considered as well.  So, my answer is that you can just use the milestones twice per year, but you still have to have other evaluations twice per rotation.

Anyone else have a plan to help out David?  Thoughts?

Vicky,

This is a lovely idea!

I sent an email with pictures that I have from our meetings.

I hope this will lift her spirits and let her know how grateful we are that she was a part of building ARCOS for us!
