DEPARTMENTAL POLICY REGARDING PREGNANCY FOR RESIDENTS

4/12/2023 16 | P a g e

The Department of Radiology will not differentiate in the treatment of potentially pregnant or confirmed pregnant residents. Specifically, on-call and fluoroscopy assignments will not be modified solely on the basis of a female resident being potentially pregnant or pregnant, in accordance with the official position of the American Association of Women in Radiology which states: “On the basis of available data, the elimination of fluoroscopy at any time during pregnancy cannot be justified on scientific grounds. Rationally, women of child-bearing age who enter the specialty of radiology should be willing to accept the theoretical risks involved in fluoroscopy.”

PROGRAM CURRICULUM

http://www.med.umn.edu/radiology/education/residency/curriculum.html

PROGRAM SCHEDULESThe annual master resident rotation schedule is prepared in April or May by the Chief Residents who take into consideration residents’ ranks and plans, rotation and site availability, and institutional funding constraints. No resident is assigned to a rotation for other than meeting their educational goals. The final schedule requires the approval of the Program Director. The Program Director may change the annual master schedule without notice, as necessary to meet Program needs and obligations.

Program schedules for HCMC, UMMC and VAMC (master, monthly, weekly and vacation) are posted on the New Innovation (RMS) website.

NOTE: Schedules are revised frequently and residents are required to stay abreast of changes.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSAll residents are governing by the requirements in both the Institutional and Program Manual.

The Graduate Medical Education Committee, chaired by the Program Director, evaluates the progress of the residents, and makes recommendations for advancement or disciplinary actions. The Program Director with advice from Graduate Medical Education Committee members, determines candidates for admission to the training program,

4/12/2023 23 | P a g e

residents’ progress in the program, and residents satisfactory completion of graduation requirements.

Residents are expected to successfully complete their monthly rotations.

Residents are required to comply in a timely manner with administrative directives including those from the Program Coordinator. This includes, but not limited to:

Proper notification of all time away Weekly submission of duty hours in RMS Record conference attendance in RMS Conference Module for UMMC Conferences Prompt completion of RMS evaluations Reading/Studying during regular work hours – must be patient care related Compliance to USMLE policy (see below) Regular attendance at resident conferences is a mandatory requirement of this

program and trainees are required to document their attendance at appropriate conferences at their institution on days they are at work. Only those on call, post-call, ill, on leave, or attending the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology will be considered to have excused absences.

Residents are required to attend Grand Rounds and Core Curriculum Conferences at the University on days they are at work, regardless of which institution they are working at.

Residents who have not yet passed written Physics Boards are required to attend Physics lectures on days they are at work, regardless of which institution they are working at. When there is a conflict between conferences, PGY5 residents who will take the upcoming ABR Oral Board exam may attend Senior Reviews.

All PGY2 through 4 residents are required to take the American College of Radiology In-Training exams, unless they are excused by the Program Director.

In order to ensure residents are eligible for certification by the American Board of Radiology (ABR), the Program requires residents to meet ABR requirements for certification, which can be reviewed at http://www.theabr.org. All PGY2 residents are required to register with the American Board of Radiology for certification in the required time frame unless they have been prospectively excused from this by the Program Director.

Graduation certificates are awarded to residents who have successfully completed their PGY1 through 4 years of training, who are making satisfactory progress in completing their PGY5 year as determined by the Program Director, and who are not expected to extend their PGY5 year more than 3 months.

USMLE Step 3 Policy:Policy: “All residents must pass the USMLE Step 3 or an equivalent licensing examination (i.e. COMLEX) by March 1st of their PGY2 year to be eligible for a resident contract at the PGY3 level or beyond. Residents are encouraged to take the appropriate licensing examination early in their training to permit adequate time to re-take the exam if more than one attempt is needed”.

Procedure: "Residents should register for the USMLE Step 3 or equivalent licensing examination no late then November 1st of their PGY2 year to allow for scheduling, grading and notification of exam results by the March 1st deadline. Residents who do not notify their program of a passing score by March 1st forfeit their continuing position within the training program and are subject to contract non-renewal."

TRAINING/GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS This program adheres to the training requirements set forth by the American Board of Radiology. These requirements can be reviewed at http://www.theabr.org.

4/12/2023 24 | P a g e

Program Directors, along with the Graduate Medical Education Committee, a faculty committee of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology with representatives from UMMC, HCMC and VAMC, has the responsibility to evaluate candidates for admission to the training program, to evaluate trainees in the program, to promote those who are progressing satisfactorily and, ultimately, to make recommendations that trainees have met the criteria established by the faculty for completion of our training programs. The Graduate Medical Education Committee meets specifically at least twice per year for the purpose of evaluating the progress of each trainee, to make recommendations for evaluating his/her progress, and to make recommendations for advancement. These meetings are typically held in the fall and spring.

Graduation certificates are awarded to residents who successfully complete all of the Program requirements, have shown satisfactory progress toward the competent, independent practice of Diagnostic Radiology, and demonstrate professional and personal attributes dedicated to the life-long learning process associated with the practice of medicine. Program requirements are:

Application for and successful completion of the requirements to sit for the American Board of Radiology (ABR) examination

Successful completion of all scheduled rotations Successful passage of mini-boards examinations during PGY2 year All PGY2-4 Radiology residents must take the American College of Radiology (ACR)

In-training examination.ACGME CORE COMPETENCIES

All University of Minnesota Medical School Residency/Fellowship training programs define the specific knowledge, skills, attitudes, and educational experiences required by the ACGME/RRC to ensure its residents/fellows demonstrate the following:

1) Patient care that is compassionate, appropriate, and effective for the treatment of health problems and the promotion of health.

2) Medical knowledge about established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognate (e.g., epidemiological and social-behavioral) sciences and the application of this knowledge to patient care.

3) Practice-based learning and improvement that involves investigation and evaluation of their own patient care, appraisal and assimilation of scientific evidence, and improvements in patient care.

4) Interpersonal and communication skills that result in effective information exchange and teaming with patients, their families, and other health professionals.

5) Professionalism , as manifested through a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities, adherence to ethical principles, and sensitivity to a diverse patient population.

6) Systems-based practice , as manifested by actions that demonstrate an awareness of and responsiveness to the larger context and system for health care and the ability to effectively call on system resources to provide care that is of optimal value.

DUTY HOURSDuty hours are defined as all clinical and academic activities related to the training program, i.e., patient care (both inpatient and outpatient), administrative duties related to patient care, the provision for transfer of patient care, time spent in-house during call activities, and scheduled academic activities such as conferences. Duty hours DO NOT include reading and preparation time spent away from the duty site.

- Duty hours are limited to eighty (80) hours per week, averaged over a 4-week period, inclusive of all in-house call activities.

- Residents are provided with one (1) day in seven (7) free from all educational and

clinical responsibilities, averaged over a 4-week period, inclusive of call.

4/12/2023 25 | P a g e

- The training program provides adequate time for rest and personal activities, which consists of a 10-hour time period provided between all daily duty periods and after in-house call.

- Residents track their duty hours through the RMS System. The duty hours reports are then reviewed by the Program Coordinator for any violations.

- Violators will be notified and required to submit written documentation as to why violation occurred.

Federal regulations mandates that GME programs account for all resident hours worked in order to maintain Medical Education funding. In addition to these federal regulations, ACGME also mandates programs monitor duty hours to ensure compliance with duty hour requirements. This means that residents must complete an online timecard of their hours worked in order to be compliant with these mandates and continue funding, accreditation, and flexibility of the program.

Duty hour violations are prohibited. Residents are responsible for making the program aware of impending violations before they occur.

RMS – RESIDENCY MANAGEMENT SUITEThe Minnesota Medical Council of Graduate Medical Education mandates the University of Minnesota use RMS to track resident duty hours. The department also uses RMS as an evaluation tool.

 DUTY HOUR APPROVAL POLICY & PROCEDUREAll activities performed by residents during their rotations are documented in an online system called Residency Management Suite (RMS). The data held within RMS is used to document and reconcile payments with the institutions where the fellows/residents rotate. Residents are required to enter their duty hours into RMS weekly and review for accuracy.

Residents are responsible for making any changes such as; start time, duration, applying activities they participated in and indicating those activities they did not participate in with “Did Not Work”.

Maintaining your duty hours is not only a GME requirement it is also a requirement for the completion of your degree.

Note: Failure to ensure accuracy of your rotation activities will be considered an act of Medicare fraud.

Duty hours are to be entered by 7AM on the first working day of the month. We are granting you the weekend now to get things in order.

All fixes indentified by Program Coordinator must be corrected by the following morning.

4/12/2023 26 | P a g e

If the above do not occur:

Residents on a U of M rotation will have their parking privileges revoked beginning the next day and will be in effect until the residency office has cleared you.

Residents at HCMC or VAMC will have their book funds debited in the amount of $25.00 per day beginning the next day and will remain in effect until the residency office has cleared you. If resident does not have funds remaining in their book fund account vacation will be revoked or call will be applied at my discretion.

PGY5s will have a letter placed in their permanent file reflecting a lack of professionalism if pattern continues.

RADIATION BADGESRadiation badges must be worn in controlled radiation areas under penalty of State law. You may be fined by the State Health Department if found not wearing a badge during an inspection.

New badges will be placed in your mailbox at the institution to which you are assigned on the first working day of the month. Always keep your old badges until you get a replacement. Badges from the previous month must be returned to your mailbox by the 8th of each month.

Under University policy, late badges will result in a fine of $50 per badge (unless replacement badges have not arrived in time to make the exchange). The amount of the fine will be deducted from your educational (“book”) fund; if adequate funds do not remain, the resident will be billed for the amount owed. Residents who plan to be away during the exchange period are required to make arrangements with someone to exchange their badges in their absence.

Lost or stolen badges must be reported to Pamela Hansen at 612-626-6638 or hanse032@umn.edu .

MOONLIGHTINGThis policy does not acknowledge in any way, any departmental acknowledgement of the resident’s ability to satisfactorily perform any moonlighting activities. Malpractice insurance is the responsibility of the resident involved. Accreditation is up to the party hiring the resident. Residents are not required to engage in moonlighting.

Because residency education is a full-time endeavor, moonlighting must not interfere with the ability of the resident to achieve the goals and objectives of the educational program.

Residents are required to notify the Program Director of their moonlighting activities. They shall email the Program Coordinator the dates, times and locations of all moonlighting activities and will become a part of the residents file.

Moonlighting activities will not be allowed to conflict with the scheduled and unscheduled

4/12/2023 29 | P a g e

time demands of the educational program and its facility.

The resident’s performance will be monitored for the effect of these activities upon performance and that adverse effects may lead to withdrawal of permission.

Internal moonlighting must be counted toward the 80-hour weekly limit on duty hours.

Residents on J1 visas are NOT permitted to be employed outside the residency program.

A resident on an H-1B visa wishing to moonlight must obtain a separate H1-B visa for each facility where the resident works outside the training program.

SUPERVISION / GRADED RESPONSIBILITYAll patient care is supervised by qualified faculty. The Program Director ensures, directs, and documents adequate supervision of residents at all times. Residents are provided with rapid, reliable systems for communication with supervising faculty. Residents are supervised by teaching staff in such a way that the residents assume progressively increasing responsibility according to their level of education, ability, and experience.

On-call schedules for teaching staff are structured to ensure that supervision is readily available to residents on duty. The teaching staff determines the level of responsibility given to each resident/fellow. Faculty and residents are educated to recognize the signs of fatigue and adopt and apply policies to prevent and counteract the potential negative effects.

Resident participation at all of our institutions is one of active participation under direct supervision of full-time teaching staff. However, at all times, final responsibility for patient care resides with the full-time staff. In this manner, the residents receive excellent training in diagnostic radiology with an appropriate degree of responsibility.

STEPS IN EVALUATION PROCESSThe Graduate Medical Education Committee, a Department of Diagnostic Radiology, faculty committee, has the responsibility to evaluate candidates for admission to the training program, evaluate residents in the program, promote those who are progressing satisfactorily and, ultimately, to make recommendations that they have met the criteria established by the faculty for completion of our Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program. The committee shall meet four times per year.

Resident performance is determined in many ways. Evaluation methods available to the Committee are the following:

- Mini-board Examination: Mini-board Examination: This oral examination is taken by the residents at the end of their first year of training, at the start of their third year and during the lead-up to the oral boards. The format of the examination parallels that of the oral examination of the American Board of Radiology.

For the first-year residents, the subject material covered is the areas of radiology in which the residents have spent time. Each resident must receive a passing grade in each of the subjects. If a resident’s grade is below passing in any subject, he or she must take a make-up examination by the end of July so as to be able to go on-call as of July 1. The make-up examination is arranged with a different examiner. The purpose of all the mini-board examinations is to evaluate the progress of the resident as well as to acquaint them with the style of the Board examination that they will take at the completion of their training.

- In-training Examination: This written examination is required of all PGY2-PGY4 Radiology residents and is sponsored by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The

4/12/2023 30 | P a g e

national exam is given annually the first Thursday in February and requires four hours. It is of value to the residents because: 1) It is quite similar to the written examination given by the American Board of Radiology; 2) Evaluation of the scores in each of the areas of the examination allows the resident to determine if he or she has any weak spots; 3) The national character of the examination and the reporting of the scores in percentiles allows the resident to compare his or her progress with that of residents in other parts of the country; 4) Overall standings are provided to the department, allowing us to compare the performance of our training program with other programs.

- Monthly and 360 Evaluations: At the end of each clinical rotation, an evaluation of the resident’s progress is prepared by the faculty member(s) in that area. This is done via a RMS. Evaluations are accessible to residents on-line. Residents also evaluate their rotations at the end of each clinical rotation and faculty twice annually.

- The Program Director will meet with each resident twice a year to conduct their Bi-Annual Continuation Review to go over their mini-boards results, In-training examination results, monthly & 360 evaluations as well as to ascertain if there are any problems or concerns.

EVALUATION SYSTEM - ELECTRONICThis Program has integrated a web-based electronic evaluation system. Evaluations both of and by residents are essential parts of maintaining our status as an accredited residency program and producing superior resident-physicians. While traditional paper-based systems allow for simple data tracking, they do not provide an easy means for improving the quality of the program. The information obtained from the analysis of evaluation data is instrumental in objectively assessing the quality of all aspects of the residency program and for identifying and continuously monitoring areas for improvement.

RMS is a completely web-based computer system that allows us all to enter evaluations, receive rapid feedback, view reports, and compare teaching performance with other programs. The system is highly secure and flexible. Faculty and trainees are expected to complete evaluations on a monthly basis.

The web address for RMS is https://www.new-innov.com. If you experience any problems with logging into, please contact the Program Coordinator at 612-626-5589.

Goal and Objectives for Teaching Medical Students

Teaching Medical Students

Residents are an essential part of the teaching of medical students. It is critical that any resident who supervises or teaches medical students must be familiar with the educational objectives of the course or clerkship and be prepared for their roles in teaching and evaluation. Therefore, we’ve included in this manual the URL to the objectives for the Clerkship(s) specific to our Department as well as the overall Educational Program Objectives.

These objectives are written to reflect the qualities and competencies expected of our graduates. Each objective specifies the expected competency level to be attained by our students, the outcome measures used to evaluate attainment of the objective, and the essential qualities and competencies of a physician (as defined by the six ACGME Essential Competencies) addressed by the objective. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has formulated essential competencies felt to be necessary for physicians practicing in the current health care climate. They are:

     Patient Care that is compassionate, appropriate, and effective for the treatment of health problems and the promotion of health

     Medical Knowledge about established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognate (e.g. epidemiological and social-behavioral) sciences and the application of this knowledge to patient care

         Practice-Based Learning and Improvement that involves investigation and evaluation of their own patient care, appraisal and assimilation of scientific evidence, and improvements in patient care

         Interpersonal and Communication Skills that result in effective information exchange and teaming with patients, their families, and other health professionals

         Professionalism, as manifested through a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities, adherence to ethical principles, and sensitivity to a diverse patient population

         Systems-Based Practice, as manifested by actions that demonstrate an awareness of and responsiveness to the larger context and system of health care and the ability to effectively call on system resources to provide optimal patient care

The objectives for the undergraduate curriculum can be grouped as follows:

Objectives 1-3: Knowledge and skills addressed principally in the first two (preclinical) curricular years;

Objectives 4-9: Knowledge and skills addressed principally in the second two (clinical) curricular years;

Objectives 10-13: Knowledge, attitudes, and skills addressed throughout the curriculum.

4/12/2023 36 | P a g e

The objectives, which relate to the ACGME essential competencies, are designed to be modified for use also by the graduate (GME) programs at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Residency programs can modify the competency level stated in the objectives and the outcome measures to reflect their own programs, while maintaining the overall integration of basic learning objectives across undergraduate and graduate medical education.

One of the primary outcome measures for the objectives is clinical rotation performance. To expand on this; clinical rotation performance is assessed by attending physicians and residents using a Web-based global rating form, evaluating the following knowledge, competencies, skills, and attitudes:

     Medical knowledge and the ability to apply knowledge in clinical situations     Competency in patient care including communication and relationships with

patients/families     Skills in data gathering from the history, physical examination, clinical and

academic sources, and diagnostic tests      Assessment and prioritization of problems     Management of problems, including knowledge of patient data and progress     Appropriate decision making     Communication in written and oral reports     Professionalism, including: patient care and management in teams (work habits),

independent learning, personal characteristics, and commitment to medicine      Specific procedural skills (see report outlining Competencies Required for

Graduation)
