That is amazing!

I am not in support of this name change though because in talking with my colleague, changing the name from coordinator to administrator would be seriously misunderstood by our University’s HR and be used to justify lower pay.

This is an interesting discussion. At my institution, we are health educators and are paid partly through the GME and the department. We report to our department’s business office and that means we are held to the same expectations and timelines as faculty administrators and our work with the GME is misunderstood and has created some problems. Faculty are not allowed to be our supervisors on paper, yet the Program Administrator has a way better understanding of my job than the business office. For me, I would much rather work from the GME Office since they have an awareness of our jobs.

Then again, our GME office has shared that no other department DBO is as involved as ours is so that is its own cup of worms!

Thanks so much, all!

This is really interesting! If they are presenting at a conference, we reimburse up to $2000 (the WOA in Hawaii had a lot of speakers from our residency lol). However, we give Chiefs $2000 for a conference on their choice as not many of them were going to AAOS. Before this thread, I didn’t think about how beneficial it could be to give PGY4s access to this funding. This is definitely something I will discuss with my PD!

We are hoping to apply this year, but are facing a lot of hurdles internally with our Director of Business Operations who has been cagey with finances. This is the same DBO who has been a challenge to me in the past so….

I use an excel sheet for each room that faculty individually fill out. I have been thinking about doing a microsoft form, but I think my faculty have gotten too used to the excel!

I also have a paper sheet for them  to write their notes, but require them to fill out the excel sheet for the rank meeting.

WHEW! Turns out I had TOO many privileges and they were confusing ERAS. Ignore 🙂

My interns are still having issues, anyone else?

I am still not seeing my interns either. Anyone else having this issue?

Late to this, but at UC San Diego, the department provides a $650 Lead stipend, and if presenting, pays for the registration, flight, 2 nights of a hotel and 3 days of food for. They also have Academic Enrichment Funds (AEF) that they can use for additional conferences, trainings or loupes.

For the programs that pay for loupes, do you have a limit? Some of our residents have spent all of their AEF on their loupes (almost 3k!)

Hi! We had a lot of issues with this last year so we allow PGY4’s to use their 5 professional days for interviews. They get 20 vacation days a year and try (it has been an issue!) to get residents to take their vacation days in 5 day blocks (Monday-Friday with the weekend not counting towards their vacation days).

Nevermind! Found it in another chat 🙂
