Our house staff is our greatest strength. They are optimistic, constructive, innovative, and dedicated. We rely on them to assist us in achieving excellence in education and patient care. In addition, the RAW is invaluable in bringing issues and opportunities to the attention of the program directors. House officers evaluate all rotations and these data are examined and discussed by the Program Director with the Faculty Coordinator for each rotation.
All rotations have specific goals and objectives, which are published on the web.
These goals and objectives, as well as, other curricular materials have recently been reviewed and updated. Several house officers also serve in other roles, e.g., serving as our representative to the American Academy of Pediatrics, coordinating the library committee, social committee, etc. The Program meets all RRC guidelines and received full accreditation in 1996. The Program Directors work with the Chair, the Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education, the Residency Advisory Work Group, and the Faculty to continuously improve the program and to ensure that our graduates are well prepared. Each rotation has a faculty coordinator who is responsible for developing the goals and objectives of the rotation and ensuring the quality of the educational experience.
