How We Improve

 

We are committed to being a program that is continually improving.  That requires a lot of resident input.  He are the formal ways we get that input.

House Staff

One per month, residents and residency leadership gather during noon conference to talk about updates within the program and celebrate the successes of our residents.  This time is also used as an open floor forum for residents to bring up concerns and provide input on changes that will help improve the residency program.

Resident Liaison Committee

The Resident Liaison Committee (RLC) is comprised of 15-18 residents that serve as representative for the entire cohort of residents.  The committee provides a forum for residents to voice concerns directly with program administration and participate in the ongoing evolution of the residency program and curriculum.

 

Program Evaluation Committee

The Program Evaluation Committee (PEC) is charged with ensuring the quality of the residency program by overseeing program evaluation, design, and improvement.
