Residency Faculty
Development Requirements
2008-2009 Residency
Policy
RATIONALE
The Florida State University College
of Medicine believes that preparation in clinical teaching leads to
enhanced learning for the resident/fellow and provides residency
faculty with a more satisfying teaching experience. We have,
therefore, instituted a policy, based on the ACGME statements below,
that residency faculty must participate in activities to enhance and
maintain their clinical teaching skills.
Since faculty are expected to be
role models for residents/fellows, they should demonstrate the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to provide an environment in
which the competencies become habits of practice. To accomplish
this, there must be a structured program for faculty development
that addresses clinical, teaching, research, and leadership skills.
Teaching and evaluation of the required Accreditation Council for
Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competencies should be included
in this program. Those competencies are:
- Patient Care;
- Medical Knowledge;
- Practice-based Learning and
Improvement;
- Interpersonal and Communication
Skills;
- Professionalism; and,
- Systems Bases Practice
These topics are
best addressed in live workshops and residency faculty are
encouraged to attend such sessions. In cases where attendance is not
possible due to extenuating circumstances, alternative learning
opportunities (e.g. on-line modules) are available.
