Good Morning,

University of Miami mandated virtual interviews this year.  We are not doing them in person.  I don’t think AOSSM can mandate in person interviews.  They can make recommendations but it is ultimately up to the institution to decide.

Good Morning,

We send our residents to the Miller Review Course in May.  We require our Chief’s to take their last two weeks (6/17-6/30) as vacation.  They get 4 weeks a year so that means that they only get two weeks throughout the year to use.

University of Miami has mandated virtual interviews for us.

Good Morning,  Sorry, I don’t have a PowerPoint.  We do a short live training for both Duty Hours and Case Logs.  We also have senior residents present to help out during the training.

That is terrible!  What is the message you get to tell you they didn’t go through?  I went to my sent and this is what it shows for me.

Does the that mean ours went through?

Sorry, just noticed that in the letter you mention sending it to the Chicago address but the invoice and the W9 have the Boston address.  My institution will require the W9 and invoice to have the Chicago address if that is where the checks need to be mailed.

Hi Joni, the attached invoice states $500.  Can we just change it to $275?  Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss something.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

For those of you that use the standard form, how does that work with the electronic verifications that are sent through programs like docusign?  A lot of those are sent with no contact information.

I have been doing a hybrid schedule since the beginning of the shutdowns in March of 2020.  On average I am in the office 2 days a week.  Sometimes more if needed.

I brought this up at the meeting we had with them. One person told me that we could. I don’t remember who but another person was shaking their head no but couldn’t speak. Since it wasn’t clear I reached out for clarification last month and this is what I was told by Maria

“Ideally, we would prefer if all of the residents within a program tested on the same day at the same time, however we recognize that these physicians are on call and scheduling all residents to take the OITE at the same time would be a challenge. In that regard, we will work with you to obtain scheduling well in advance (3+ weeks prior to the exam) to establish which residents will test on any given day for the remote testing and proctoring administration option. As soon as we can, AAOS will push out additional information relating to remote testing details.”

We just received word that they think electives for visiting students would be available for the end of August. They would update us as soon as our own students are able to return and reschedule their home rotations.
