Chapter 1 Introduction elcome to the MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital’s residency training program in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. The program proudly started in 1986 W and has graduated over 110 Physiatrist as of June 30, 2009.

Centered in the heart of Washington DC, the National Rehabilitation Hospital is ideally position to achieve its vision as the trusted leader in caring for people and advancing health. Our PM&R program currently consists of 4 residents for each of the PGY2 to PGY4 years.

The curriculum presented in this manual is a 3 dimensional design that fully supports an Integrated Competency Based Curriculum for the resident in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. The first dimension is the Resident him or herself. During all of the didactics and clinical scenarios, we are utilizing the latest technology in adult learning. The second dimension is our Domain structure. We have identified 12 domains that are the core of education for the PM&R resident. Every educational session (didactic lecture, workshop, examination, clinical rotation, etc.) is directly related to one of our domains. As with our domains, every educations session is also directly related to our third dimension which is one of the 6 Core ACGME Competencies (Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice Based Learning, Professionalism, System Based Learning and Interpersonal Skills and Communication.)

This competency based curriculum takes advantage of the broad expertise of our faculty in the primary institution and affiliated hospitals and the unique and diverse educational resources available in Washington DC and Maryland area.

17 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

Overall Educational Goals of the Program • To provide the resident with basic and advanced knowledge in physical medicine and rehabilitation to prepare for a career in academic/clinical practice • To provide the resident with clinical skills necessary to acquire competencies in the clinical practice of rehabilitation medicine • To encourage self-improvement by developing skills in communication, teaching and leadership • To mentor residents in a supportive environment that stimulates life- long learning • To utilize opportunities and resources that would ensure that the resident is an integral part of the rehabilitation team and community

Curriculum Framework

The structural framework underlying the program curriculum revolves around the 5 “C” s: Compliance, Competencies, Content, Commitment and Change.

1. Compliance- We seek to continue to fulfill the ACGME Common and PMR and ABPMR requirements;

2. Competencies- The ACGME six core competencies are integrated in the development, implementation and evaluation of the curriculum. These are: • Medical Knowledge • Patient Care • Practice-based Learning and Improvement • Professionalism • Interpersonal and Communication Skills • Systems-based Practice

The competencies are emphasized in all learning sessions through awareness and delivery of competency-based education. In-service educational sessions on competencies occur throughout the year for faculty and residents.

3. Content – Core topics of PM&R that our residents need to know are identified and guided by one of our 12 Domains in the development of rotational Goals and Objectives and didactic learning sessions.

18 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

4. Commitment- The best solutions emerge from the collective insight and wisdom of a diverse group of individuals who are willing to collaborate through active participation and hands on development of the curriculum.

5. Change- The program curriculum is dynamic and based on resident performance, evaluations of didactic sessions and clinical rotations and feedback from alumni, program needs and resources.

Progression of Learning and Responsibility

The careful reorganization of our rotation grid has allowed progression of resident learning and responsibility. In each of the three successive years of residency training, the responsibilities and expectations of the residents are increased. While there may be overlap among the years in terms of rehabilitation populations seen, the complexity of care and rehabilitation management increases throughout training. In order for the resident to advance to the next academic level, the resident must demonstrate specific knowledge, skill, and performance as outlined below:

PGY 2 Level (Care of Inpatients and Exposure to Ambulatory Care) At the PGY 2 level, the resident has exposure in the direct clinical care of patients in various Adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Units which include SCI, Neurorehabilitation (Stroke and Brain Injury), Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation (Joint and Amputee) and Geriatric Rehabilitation. Exposure to Ambulatory Care (Continuity Clinic, Outpatient and EMG) is introduced. One elective month is offered.

At the completion of the PGY 2, the resident is expected to have demonstrated satisfactory achievement of all rotational educational objectives, as well as:

1. Direct and supervised clinical care of hospitalized patients (predominant) 2. Performance of a comprehensive physiatric history, physical and functional evaluation 3. Fundamental skills in the physiatric management of an inpatient rehabilitation unit 4. Formulation a general medical and rehabilitation problem list/differential diagnosis 5. Performance in dictation of a comprehensive discharge summary 6. Prescription of appropriate therapeutic measures 7. Participation in leading supervised team and family conferences 8. Participation in the supervision & training of medical students in basic information gathering, decision making & patient management 9. Acquisition of basic knowledge on performance of electrodiagnostic studies 10. Direct and supervised clinical care of outpatients

PGY 3 Level (Care of Inpatients and Outpatient (Predominant), Pediatric Rehabilitation and Electrodiagnostic Studies)

At the PGY-3 level, the resident has exposure to the direct care of both adult and pediatric populations. Rotations are predominantly in the ambulatory care setting. There is increased exposure to electrodiagnostic studies with a three month rotation at WRAMC. The resident has the opportunity to begin to explore his/her interests with additional elective time. Research opportunities are enhanced with exposure to the NIH rotation.

20 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

At the completion of the PGY-3 year, the resident is expected to have the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to diagnose and manage the rehabilitation of patients on both an inpatient and outpatient basis.

At the completion of the PGY-3 year, the resident is expected to have demonstrated satisfactory achievement of all rotational educational objectives, as well as:

1. Compliance with all criteria for PGY-2 residents 2. Formulation of a comprehensive treatment plan for various types of patients, adult and pediatric, including appropriate intervention, goals and disposition of care 3. Ability to negotiate the various levels of care by making appropriate referrals & managing the discharge planning function 4. Substantial skill in supervising junior (PGY-2) and medical students 5. Demonstrate increased knowledge and skill in conducting electrodiagnostic studies 6. Substantial skill in leading team and family conferences

PGY 4 Level (Consultative Care, Electives/Selectives, Ambulatory Care, Electrodiagnostic Studies and Senior Inpatient Rotation)

At the end of the PGY-4 year, the resident will continue to have competence in all PGY-2 and PGY-3 objectives but with increasing responsibility for patient care and rehabilitation management, thus demonstrating advanced knowledge of differential diagnosis and patient therapeutic decisions.

Chapter 2 Domains

he basis of our curriculum is built around 12 Domains that we have identified as the core structure for educating the Resident Physician in the discipline of Physical Medicine & T Rehabilitation. These domains oversee that the current Clinical Rotations as well as the PM&R Didactic Series provide the up to date information. Each domain has a Domain Chief which is a faculty attending and a current Resident Physician. Each lecture must also satisfy at least one of the ACGME 6 Core Competencies. The residents at the end of the lecture provide an evaluation of the lecture. The domain team meets at least quarterly to evaluate the lectures series as well as information from exam scores (PM&R residency quarterly exams and American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation – Self Assessment Exam – done yearly) that pertain to their domain.

Electrodiagnostic Medicine

The Electrodiagnostic medicine consultation is the practice of medicine and as such is predicated on a thorough understanding of the basic science and clinical aspects of nerve and muscle physiology. In addition to the normal physiological function of these two primary tissues, the physician must also comprehend the manner in which nerve and muscle tissue reacts to various diseases.

Neurorehabilitation

Neurorehabilitation is a complex medical process which aims to aid recovery from a nervous system injury such as Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke, and to minimize and/or compensate for any functional alterations resulting from it. Neurorehabilitation is the specialty of neuroscience, which deals with the study and application of complex medical precess aiming at recovery from nervous injury and to compensate for any functional alterations therein.

In case of a serious disability the patient and his/her families’ abilities, life style and projects are suddenly shattered. In order to cope with this situation, the person and his/her family must establish and negotiate a “new way of living”, both with their changed body and as a changed individual within a wider community.

Thus, neurorehabilitation works with the skills and attitudes of the disabled person and his/her family and friends. It promotes his/her skills to work at the highest level of independence possible for him/her. It also encourages him/her to rebuild self-esteem and a positive mood.

Musculoskeletal, Sports and Occupational Medicine

In many countries musculoskeletal symptoms and diseases are the most common cause of functional imitation in the adult population. Musculoskeletal medicine encompasses all injuries and illness that relate to the muscles and skeletal bones of the human body. In many cases it is considered conservative orthopedic treatment.

Sports medicine is an important area of practice for many physical medicine & rehabilitation specialist. Because of their training in anatomy, biomechanics, pathophysiology of musculoskeletal injury and functional rehabilitation, physiatrist are well prepared to care for individual who exercise to achieve health-related benefits and those who participate in recreational and competitive sports. The rehabilitation medicine model applies well to the fields of sports medicine, and occupational medicine, because the majority of injuries related to sports, exercise and occupational injury do not require surgical intervention and should be treated by aggressive conservative care. Sports and Occupational Medicine care should be delivered in an interdisciplinary team approach, which is one of the strengths of the specialist of PM&R.

The goal of rehabilitation is to return the individual to normal form and function. The injure athlete should achieved normal flexibility, strength and muscle balance, as well as neuromuscular coordination, before returning to participation in sports. The process of rehabilitation should start as early as possible after injury and minimize functional losses associate with acute or chronic recuing injury.

GUH- NRH PM&R RESIDENCY

Chapter 4 Didactics

he PM&R didactic series runs every Thursday from 8:00am to 12:00pm. The competency- based didactic curriculum includes topics from the 12 Domains and will comprehensively T cover all of the general and subspecialty subjects in the field of PM&R. The series will be presented in an 18-month cycle and each resident will be exposed to the material twice before they complete the training program. This ½ day protected academic time include sessions which consist of lectures, physiatry bedside rounds, inter-disciplinary conferences (Rheumatology-Orthopedic- PM&R Rounds), hands-on workshops, and team-based learning activities with interactive games (Jeopardy). Journal Clubs are held monthly (3rd Thursday) and coordinated by resident teams and rotating faculty. Learning objectives are provided by presenters and given to the residents before each session. All didactic sessions are staffed and facilitated by faculty physiatrists.

The resident peer lecture series is from 11:00-12:00 pm (weekly, Thursdays). This educational series complements the MSK Continuity Clinic experience. Lecture topics include MSK system anatomy, physical and functional examination, diagnosis and rehabilitation management with focus on rehabilitation protocols referenced from a PM&R textbook (Clinical Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Brotzman and Wilk). All residents are provided a copy of this textbook and are expected to have read the assigned topic for the week. A schedule is provided at the beginning of the academic year and is available at New Innovations. Each resident is assigned to present each week and assignments emphasize progression of learning (PGY 2=Anatomy; PGY 3= Physical and Functional Examination; PGY 4 =Diagnosis and Rehabilitation Management). This interactive activity promotes leadership, communication skills and team-based learning.

Other educational sessions which complement the didactic experience include Grand Rounds (Fridays 12:00-1:00 pm, weekly) and Board Review Sessions. Morbidity and Mortality Conferences are held monthly (4th Thursday). Resident teams present cases utilizing the Quinn Matrix. This is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team (Physiatrists, Quality Improvement Staff, Emergency Response Team and Nursing).

333 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

GUH- NRH PM&R RESIDENCY

Aside from these core didactic sessions, residents have the opportunity to participate in didactic programs in their other rotations and departments. Residents are also encouraged to attend weekly Grand Rounds (Wednesdays, 12-1 pm) at the Washington Hospital Center.

Engaging Our Learners through Interactive Pedagogies The following innovations have been introduced in our didactic sessions to promote active learning:

Audience Response System (ARS) Each student/resident is given a remote control. Participants are asked to respond to multiple- choice questions which are displayed on the video screen. The tally of answers is shown. This process encourages learner interaction and engagement with the content, the instructor and with one another.

Immediate Feedback – Assessment Tool (IF-AT) The student/resident is given a written multiple choice quiz (or test). An answer sheet that looks similar to a lottery scratch off is provided with corresponding answer choices. The learner scratches off their answer choice. The correct answer will have an asterisk “*” behind the silver scratch off material. The learner will continue to scratch off until the asterisk is revealed. This process allows participants to re-think why or how they got the incorrect answer while still thinking about the subject.

Hands-on Workshops Interactive hands-on practice of joint injection techniques are performed using mannequins. With this technique, a needle is inserted on the life-like limb and if the learner is in the correct location a green light will shine, if incorrect a red light shines. This provides immediate feedback and promotes active learning.

Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) OSCE sessions are done in a simulation center with standardized patients. The resident is given a scenario and the opportunity to examine or manage the patient presented. This is staffed by faculty evaluators and residents are given formative feedback on their performance. Videos can also be viewed individually and emphasizes practice-based learning and improvement. (Refer to Assessment Tools–Chapter 6.)

Chapter 5 5 Other Learning Opportunities Here are multiple way beyond lectures and rotations used in the tradition residency program in which the resident are exposed to the material needed to study to become a T competent physiatrist.

Continuity clinic Clinic Design There are 4 teams; Yellow, Green, Blue, Red

Each resident is assigned a team for their entire residency PGY2 – 4 years.

Each team consists of a resident from each class. PGY2, PGY3 and PGY4.

All residents will participate in the clinic every Thursday after didactic lectures, except when post in- house call to maintain compliance with ACGME duty hour rules.

Patient scheduling: Each patient will be scheduled for 1 hour regardless if a new visit or follow up. Therefore each team 2 patients at 1:00pm, 2:00pm, 3:00pm and 4:00pm every Thursday.

The PGY2 + PGY4 will see one patient together. This allows the Senior Resident to act in a supervisory and teaching manner. In the beginning of the year the PGY4 will provide the examination and treatment plan formation education. As the year progresses, it is expected for the PGY2 to take on more the initial evaluation and treatment with guidance from the PGY4. The PGY3 will see a patient by him/herself for that year.

The patients will be rescheduled to the same doctors. The PGY4’s will pass their existing patients to the PGY2 residents.

Clinic logistics • 8 Rooms used from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. • Scheduling with the Front Desk. • Each Resident will be assigned a Doctor Number that they will have throughout their residency. The PGY4 and PGY2 will share a doctor number. (see below)

341 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

• Administrative Support will be done by Dr. Whitehair’s staff. • Each patient visit will be staffed by Dr. Curtis Whitehair, the program director and additional faculty that will be assigned on a rotational basis.

Resident’s responsibility • Post Call Duty hours: The resident that will not be able to continue past 2pm due to ACGME duty hours or any vacation or holidays will be required to have the schedule set at least 6 weeks in advance for him/her to not be at the clinic. The program’s call schedule is set for an entire year in June prior to the academic year starting. It will be the resident responsibility to facilitate any scheduling changes at the last minute with the patient and the front desk schedulers. It will not be accepted to simply inform the front desk and have them rearrange last minute changes except in emergencies only.

• Vacation will need to be scheduled for at least 6 weeks in advance except for emergencies.

• The PGY3 and PGY4 residents will be responsible for patient management (i.e. prescription refill authorization, forms, paper work, insurance authorizations) Monday through Friday 8:00am – 5:00pm. If a PGY3 or PGY4 is away at an outside rotation, the PGY3 or PGY4 remaining will cover the entire teams patients. Once they return the patient will return to their original doctor.

• The resident will be responsible for providing lectures, see below. This has replaced the old Physiatry Rounds lectures series. Learning/Education • We use the text book Clinic Orthopaedic Rehabilitation. . Each resident is supplied with the text by the residency program. 342 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

• A Lecture Series will review the entire text book in 18 months. . This will allow review of the book 2 times during the PGY2- 4 residency program.

• The residents will provide the lectures in the form of a PowerPoint presentation:  PGY2 – Gross anatomy of selected body part which includes imaging studies.  PGY3 – Examination, Normal Biomechanics, Physiology and Kinematics of selected body part.  PGY4 - Pathology and Rehabilitation Protocol

Chapter 6 6 Assessment Tools

he ability to demonstrate educational outcomes as the achievement of competency-based learning objectives provides evidence of preparing competent physicians who can meet the T health care needs of the public. Educational assessment is, therefore, a key component to our PM&R Residency program and is intended to:

1. Assess residents' attainment of competency-based objectives 2. Facilitate continuous improvement of the educational experience 3. Facilitate continuous improvement of resident performance 4. Facilitate continuous improvement of residency program performance

Assessment System

1. Assessment is consistent with curriculum/program objectives.

Consistency between objectives and assessment occurs because there are clear parallels between what is taught and what is assessed in the MEDSTAR GUH - MEDSTAR NRH PM&R residency training program. Consistency between objectives and assessment also increases the likelihood that residents will attend to a broader scope of course objectives and not just content that will be assessed.

2. The educational objectives are representative of our 12 educational domains of interest.

It is not feasible to assess attainment of all educational objectives in all contexts; therefore, it is necessary to select a sample of what will be assessed. Representative behaviors for each competency in defined contexts have been identified.

3. Multiple assessment approaches/instruments are employed.

Because competence is multi-dimensional and individual assessment approaches have limitations, it is unlikely that a single approach to assessment will be adequate. This problem is addressed by using a different assessment approaches.

348 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

GUH- NRH PM&R RESIDENCY

4. Multiple observations are conducted.

Multiple observations improve the reliability or precision of assessment and allow identification of patterns of behavior over time.

5. Multiple observers/raters provide assessments.

Using multiple observers improves the reliability or precision of assessment and enhances the scope of assessment.

6. Performance is assessed according to pre-specified standards.

Pre-specified standards indicate objective criteria for "good enough" or "borderline" performance and help to reduce subjective assessment.

7. Assessment is fair.

Fairness pertains to giving all residents the same or equal opportunity to perform. While fairness may be enhanced by valid and reliable assessment, an assessment may still be unfair if the results are influenced by something other than ability. For example, it would be unfair to compare the assessment results of a resident who was on call the night before an assessment with the results of peers who were not on call. With the exception of baseline or needs assessments, fairness pertains also to providing residents opportunities to learn the material on which they will be assessed. Residents are informed about what will and will not be assessed. In addition, there is clarity about the assessment format and how performance will be rated before the assessment.

Resident Assessment

OSCE The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) at the MEDSTAR GUH - MEDSTAR NRH PM&R Residency Training Program is a standardized patient encounter developed to assess competency in clinical skills. By using simulated patients in standardized scenarios, our resident’s abilities are evaluated in an environment that is realistic, safe and educational. The observers, which include the standardized patient (SP) and designated PM&R faculty, use pre-defined checklists that evaluate clinical competence with components that reflect the 6 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Core Competencies. All residents participate in bi-annual OSCE’s during the three-year residency training program. OSCE’s are conducted at the Clinical Simulation Center located at Washington Hospital Center.

349 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

GUH- NRH PM&R RESIDENCY

STANDARDIZED PATIENTS (SP)

1. SP are individuals who have been taught to present history and physical examination findings of a particular illness or injury in an accurate and reproducible manner;

2. The SP may have real findings or they may be simulating signs and symptoms;

3. They are trained professional actors who have been given structured scripts;

4. SP in different stations vary in authenticity;

5. The SP will be used to assess your skills in history-taking, physical and functional examination, listening and information processing, teaching, communication and patient advocacy;

6. The SP will not give you immediate or verbal feedback on your performance.

GUIDELINES FOR THE RESIDENT

1. You are to approach, interview and examine the SP exactly as you would an actual patient. We are evaluating your performance on the assumption that you would behave identically with an actual patient. All of the cases are based on real patient encounters.

2. The following tasks are expected during each encounter:

(a) Obtain a focused history (b) Perform a relevant physical and functional examination (c) Discuss your initial diagnostic impression and your work-up plan with the patient

3. In the interest of time and convenience, the following are not expected:

(a) General physical examination (b) Rectal examination (c) Pelvic/genital examination (d) Female breast examination (e) Demonstration of procedural skills

4. There will be 2 encounters assigned to each resident. You will be given 15 minutes for each encounter. It is your responsibility to pace your time with the patient. An announcement will be made to tell you when to begin the encounter, when there are 2 minutes remaining and when the time allotted has elapsed. There will be a 5 minute break between the 2 encounters which will allow the SP to complete their checklist.

350 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

GUH- NRH PM&R RESIDENCY

5. The examination room will consist of an area modified to simulate a series of examination suites, equipped with tables and gloves. You are expected to bring your own diagnostic instruments that you commonly use during a typical patient encounter in the inpatient/outpatient setting (a stethoscope, penlight and reflex hammer). A goniometer will be provided.

6. Be considerate of the SP and always keep them comfortable and properly draped during the examination.

7. If you complete the encounter in less than the allotted time, you may leave the examination room early but are not permitted to re-enter. Be certain that you have gathered all the pertinent information before leaving the examination room.

FEEDBACK AND EVALUATION

1. Residents will be evaluated by the SP and designated faculty using checklists designed to evaluate clinical competence based on the 6 ACGME Core Competencies which include Medical Knowledge, Patient Care, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, Practice- based Learning and Improvement and Systems-based Practice as applicable.

2. There will be Faculty Attendings that will use the standard Resident Observation & Competency Assessment tool, recommend by the American Board of Physical Medicine and the Association of Academic Physiatrist.

3. The encounters will be videotaped and can only be reviewed by the PD, APD, faculty evaluators and designated simulation staff.

4. Residents will be allowed to view their own videotaped encounters which will give them an opportunity to reflect on their individual performance and encourage Practice-based Learning and Improvement.

5. Individual feedback regarding resident performance will not be given immediately after these encounters. The PD/APD will meet with the residents at a subsequent time to review aggregate results of the OSCE.

6. A gap analysis will be done based on observed resident clinical practice vs. best practice. This will be the basis of modification/implementation of a curriculum focused on any identified aggregate deficiency.

Competencies addressed • All 6 core competencies

Global Clinical Performance Rating With the uses of electronic house staff administration software, the faculty attending for the rotation will receive an end of rotation evaluation. The resident is evaluated on a standard assessment form, which includes evaluation based on each of the ACGME core competencies. The resident is rated on a scale of 0 to 9. These performance ratings mimic the summary and final evaluation that is used by the American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the end of each year and the end of a resident’s training, respectively.

Competencies addressed • All 6 core competencies

Focused Evaluation / Observation of Patient Encounter

RO&CA The PM&R Resident Observation and Competency Assessment tool is used at least once on each rotation, with a goal of one monthly.

The PM&R Resident Observation and Competency Assessment (RO&CA)

Description The PM&R Resident Observation and Competency Assessment (RO&CA) Tool was developed by the ABPMR Foundation Program Directors’ Advisory Committee in 2004. A multi-site trial to assess reliability and other psychometric parameters was undertaken by the residency programs at Carolinas Health Care Systems, East Carolina University, Loyola University, Mercy Hospital of Pittsburgh, Northwestern University (RIC), University of Rochester, and University of Washington. Preliminary results from this study were presented at the 2008 AAP meeting.1

A good resident evaluation program utilizes multiple evaluation methods by multiple raters. The evaluation methods should ideally be reliable, valid, feasible, and provide useful information to the program director. The RO&CA provides a way of assessing and giving feedback about resident skills in 5 competencies. Patient care skills include interviewing, physical examination, and procedures. Professionalism skills include obtaining informed consent and demonstrating sensitivity to patient characteristics or patient tolerance of a procedure. Interpersonal and communication skills include listening and counseling. The Systems-Based practice skill assesses the ability to use resources efficiently when developing a diagnostic or therapeutic plan. The practice based learning and improvement skill assesses a specific teaching activity by the resident. With the exception of the

352 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

GUH- NRH PM&R RESIDENCY

teaching activity, most observations are expected to be 10-15 minutes long, followed by up to 5 minutes of feedback. Reliability and validity data will be addressed in an upcoming manuscript. The RO&CA is feasible and does not require expensive resources to implement. Comments are typically more specific and goal oriented than the usual end-of-rotation evaluations.

Instructions for use Once per rotation, a resident should ask an attending physician to observe the resident in some aspect of patient care in the inpatient, consult, outpatient, electrodiagnosis, or procedure setting. (Or the resident may have a planned teaching activity which may be evaluated). The resident provides the attending with the RO&CA form. The attending rates the resident real time on a scale of 1 (unsatisfactory) to 4(superior) for any of the skills observed. All areas do not need to be rated, just the ones performed by the resident and observed by the attending. Immediately following the observation, the attending provides verbal and written feedback to the resident and both sign the form. The RO&CA should be returned to the program director and may be reviewed as part of the semi-annual performance evaluation process.

Although the RO&CA is simple to use, some faculty development is necessary to orient them to the process. During a RO&CA evaluation, the faculty should observe without intruding, if possible. When rating the resident, care should be taken to rate only the skills observed in that observation and not add in ratings related to other patient encounters. Some skills may be performed at a superior level while others may require improvement. When a resident performs a procedure, the faculty should also try to observe the resident obtaining informed consent. The form will be more useful to the program director for semi-annual review if written comments are provided. Any score of 1 (unsatisfactory) or 2 (marginal) really should be accompanied by comments.

The RO&CA can certainly be used more often than once per rotation or attending. However, if the program chooses to require a certain number per year, it makes sense to have them spread over the course of the year, so that the resident can be evaluated over time, and by multiple evaluators.

360-degree Evaluation

A 360-degree Evaluation provides multiple perspectives of resident’s performance and provides the opportunity for residents to improve self-assessment skills. The members of the resident’s team (including nursing, social work, case management, PT, OT, and SLP) may collaborate or individually provide the answers to the questionnaire provided. Specifically, the survey is inquiring as to the professional conduct and communications skills that the residents demonstrated when he/she worked on the rotation noted at the top of the survey. The resident is judged as satisfactory or unsatisfactory in characteristics noted. If the resident is judged unsatisfactory, comments should be provided in the designated space. Also, positive comments should be provided. Unless there is a matter of urgency to address, the resident will receive this feedback/information in an anonymous manner. This evaluation is done semi-annually.

Curriculum Assessment

The Curriculum Committee reviews, develops and organizes the overall didactic curriculum as recommend by the individual domains and oversees that it is consistent with the ACGME PM&R requirements, program needs and resources. The Committee meets monthly and is composed of the Assistant Program Director (Chair), designated faculty, chief resident/senior resident representative and the Program Director. The Curriculum Committee is advisory to the

358 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

GUH- NRH PM&R RESIDENCY

Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) and reports to it on a monthly and as needed basis.

Rotational Assessment After each rotation, the resident is surveyed electronically about the rotation. The individual results are saved until the end of the year, and are then summated by the program director and reported anonymously to the faculty members. Residents are encouraged by an open door policy to discuss immediate issues with the program director without fear of retaliation.

Faculty Assessment After each rotation, the resident is surveyed electronically about the faculty on the rotation. The individual results are saved until the end of the year, and are then summated by the program director and reported anonymously to the faculty member. Residents are encouraged by an open door policy to discuss immediate issues with the program director without fear of retaliation.

Program Assessment The program is assessed through multiple survey tools each conducted separately by the ACGME, MedStar and NRH on an annual basis. The MEDSTAR GUH - MEDSTAR NRH PM&R Residency Training program also assess the program with an Internal Review as defined by the policies of the ACGME/RRC, MedStar and NRH’s House Staff Policies. The NRH also uses anonymous surveys that are exact online replicas of the ACGME Resident annual survey. The program director has an open door policy and encourages residents to discuss issues about the program, faculty and the hospital without fear of retaliation or judgement. Also on a quarterly basis he has an informal group discussion about the program during Program Director & Resident Meeting which takes place weekly before the didact lectures.

Clinical Competency Committee This committee meets for formal scheduled evaluation of residents on a quarterly basis. It includes sponsoring institution faculty of the GMEC, as well as faculty from affiliate association and outside rotations. The committee also meets informally after each GMEC meeting for an ad hoc discussion of residents on any issues that have come to the attention of faculty, program director and information provided to the training program. During the beginning of the New Year the PGY2 residents are informally discussed to elicit any issues that may need the program’s attention.

Essential Articles in PM&R Training 1980 – 2003; Baylor College of Medicine - Association of Academic Physiatrist

ESSENTIAL ARTICLES IN PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION TRAINING: 1980-2003 Compiled by: PM&R Alliance, Baylor College of Medicine/University of Texas-Houston (Gerard E. Francisco, M.D., Amy Bowles, M.D., Viviana Tastard, M.D.) With Contributions From: Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk (Cindy Flick, M.D.) Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital and Clinics (Noel Rao, M.D.) Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh (Mary Ann Miknevich, MD) Mt. Sinai Medical Center, NY (Adam Stein, MD) Nassau University Medical Center, NY (Lynn Weiss, MD) Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (James Sliwa, D.O.) UMDNJ/New Jersey Medical School (Denise A. Campagnolo, M.D.) University of Washington-Seattle (Teresa Massagli, M.D.) Walter Reed Army Medical Center, D.C. (Paul A. Pasquina, M.D.) University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Catherine Spires, M.D.) 2 INTRODUCTION When I was a resident in the early 1990’s, I remember being handed a list of the “Classic Journal Articles in PM&R” by one of my attendings. That list served as a great starting point for self-study, supplemented by countless new research articles and book chapters. While I valued---and still do--- those articles, I have always thought that just like many other things, the list needed updating in order to keep the residents abreast of the current literature in physiatry. Many years later, as an attending, I was frequently asked by my residents for advice on what articles to read. Considering that the breadth of clinical practice and literature in PM&R has increased significantly in the last several years, I felt it was a daunting task to provide residents with a comprehensive list of articles that they should be familiar with before completion of training, without overwhelming them. Over the years, I have prepared and constantly updated my own list of articles in my areas of interest: traumatic brain injury, stroke, and spasticity. Many residents were appreciative of the articles (although I doubt that they’ve read each and every one of them), but raised their concern that they were not getting a similar compilation from their other rotations. When I assumed the program directorship of the PM&R Alliance of the Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas-Houston, one of the first things that I

366 Integrated Competency Based Curriculum 2012-2013

organized was a “task force” to prepare a list of the “new classic articles in PM&R” in order to meet our residents’ educational needs. However, the job was still daunting, and I realized that it will not be feasible for myself and two of our hard-working residents (Amy Bowles and Viviana Tastard) to complete the task. Thus, our group decided to collaborate and share the final list with other residency programs. In the process, we opted to change the compilation’s name to “Essential Articles” (less controversial than “new classics”) but kept the same intent and criteria: 1. “Essential Articles” are defined as those articles that a PM&R resident should have read or at least be familiar with by completion of training; 2. Only articles from 1980 to the present will be included, in order to make the list manageable; 3. Original research and review articles will be considered; 4. Book chapters and the AAEM mini-monographs (we felt that each and every one of these is a “must read”) will not be included; The list is not officially endorsed by any PM&R organization. Rather, it is a compilation of article titles that a handful of PM&R residency program directors consider as “essential” to resident training. I am indebted to those program directors who shared their own lists and assisted in assembling the final compilation: Terry Massagli, Jim Sliwa, Paul Pasquina, Denise Campagnolo, Mary Ann Miknevich, Lynn Weiss, Adam Stein, Noel Rao, Catherine Spires, and Cindy Flick; our former residents, Amy Bowles and Viviana Tastard for helping start-up the project; my secretary, Danielle Hawkins, for preparing the draft; Kwai Chan, my associate program director; and my two chairmen, Marty Grabois and Bill Donovan for their generous support and encouragement.
