目的:驻地协调员是教育领导管理的重要成员。在普外科,项目主任必须投入时间进行临床实践,并担任外科住院医师教育项目的负责人。随着能力和下一个认证体系的引入,培训项目的责任增加了,许多必要的日常管理是由居住协调员驱动的。这项研究的目的是确定住院医师协调员在手术中的当前角色,以确定标准化工作描述的适当语言,该语言准确地描述了计划协调员的职责。
方法:创建了一项调查,并通过电子邮件分发给317名普外科项目协调员,最初,或ACGME在2017年10月至12月的预认证状态。有人问了关于协调员人口统计的问题,广告参与,和项目主管沟通,招募,和专业发展。223名协调员(70%)完成了调查。
结果:35%的协调员报告说,他们的项目主管希望他们在提交之前完成年度广告更新,并由项目主管进行最终审查。而15%的人表示项目主管希望项目协调员输入,更新,并提交年度ADS更新,而无需程序主管的网站。百分之五十的项目协调员每周2到4天与项目主任交谈,而38%的人每天都会和他们的项目主管交谈。89%的协调员报告说,他们的计划主管信任他们在计划或紧急缺勤期间做出适当的行政决定。69%的协调员强烈同意他们在招聘季节后协助项目主管整理和分析招聘数据。86%的协调员定期参加一项或多项专业发展活动。46%的协调员表示,他们监督办公室的行政人员,司,或部门。
结论:鉴于目前普外科项目住院医师协调员的组成,需要基线资格和标准化的工作描述,允许招聘和保留能够与项目主管一起管理居住的协调员。我们调查的数据表明,大多数协调员目前执行任务并承担经理的责任,但他们持有当前的职位描述,不能充分反映角色。当前拟议的ACGME修订规定,必须有一个居住计划的计划协调员,引用协调员作为居民领导团队的不可或缺的成员。因此,人力资源部门需要一份确定责任水平的工作描述,贡献,领导力,和管理需要一个程序协调员。
OBJECTIVE: Residency coordinators are valuable members of the education leadership administration. In General Surgery, program directors must devote time to both their clinical practice and as the leader of the education program for surgical residents. With the introduction of competencies and the Next Accreditation System, the responsibilities of training programs have increased, with much of the necessary day to day management being driven by the residency coordinator. The purpose of this study was to identify the current roles of a residency coordinator in surgery to determine appropriate language for a standardized job description that accurately describes the responsibilities of a program coordinator.
METHODS: A survey was created and distributed via email to 317 general surgery program coordinators in programs with continued, initial, or pre-accreditation status by the ACGME in October-December 2017. Questions were asked about coordinator demographics, ADS involvement, and communication with program director, recruitment, and professional development. 223 coordinators (70%) completed the survey.
RESULTS: Thirty-five percent of coordinators reported that their program director expects them to complete the annual ADS update in its entirety with a final review by the program director before submission, whereas 15% stated that the program director expects the program coordinator to input, update, and submit the annual ADS update without oversite from the program director. Fifty percent of program coordinators speak with their program director 2 to 4 days a week, whereas 38% speak with their program director daily. Eighty-nine percent of coordinators reported that their program directors trust them to make appropriate administrative decisions during scheduled or emergent absences. Sixty-nine percent of coordinators strongly agreed that they assist their program directors with collating and analyzing recruitment data post-recruitment season. Eighty-six percent of coordinators regularly participate in one or more professional development activities. Forty-six percent of coordinators stated that they oversee administrative staff in their office, division, or department.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the current makeup of today\'s residency coordinator in general surgery programs, the need for baseline qualifications and a standardized job description allowing for recruitment and retention of a coordinator capable of managing a residency along with a program director. The data from our survey indicate that most coordinators currently perform tasks and take on responsibilities of a manager, but they hold current job descriptions that do not adequately reflect the role. The current proposed ACGME revisions state that there must be a program coordinator for a residency program, citing the coordinator as an integral member of the residency leadership team. Therefore, human resource departments need a job description that identifies level of responsibility, contribution, leadership, and management required of a program coordinator.
