He is the current president of the Housestaff Association. She is married to Vikas. Her interest is gastroenterology. The program completed its periodic site visit by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Residency Review Committee on November 17. The program appreciates the faculty, administration and resident time involved in the visit.
Resident input is extremely important in the process.
Not only does the Accreditation Council review the written resident surveys, which were submitted somewhat over a year before, but also conducts interviews with residents and takes their input regarding program compliance with the accreditation requirements seriously. The program was visited this year by D.E. Darnell Jones, M.D., from East Carolina University. Dr. Jones oversees 16 residency programs at his institution, and conducts site visits across the nation during half of his time. The program will learn officially about its accreditation status after a meeting of the Residency Review Committee for Internal Medicine, likely in the spring. The purpose of the national meeting is to provide resources to faculty teams that they can bring back to residency training programs to enhance the effectiveness of faculty.
