How to Get Involved

Two representatives elected yearly from each resident class are voting members on the Program Evaluation Committee which meets quarterly.  The program has a strong legacy of valuing and implementing resident ideas and suggestions into residency policy and into the educational curriculum.  The intern and PL-2 resident representatives also comprise half of the interview and selection committee for the Chief Resident position for the upcoming academic year. The two senior resident representatives chair the Reverse Education Meeting which collates and provides aggregate feedback from residents to individual faculty.

​

The committee also commissions a faculty member from an outside institution to review one of our rotations in depth each year.  The committee reviews the report and works with the rotation faculty to implement suggestions.  Curricular improvements and refinements are derived from monthly rotation evaluations by residents, yearly evaluations of the program by faculty, ad hoc suggestions by residents and staff, ideas shared by collaborating institutions, or from changes in policy or guidance from accrediting bodies. The Program Evaluation Committee generates the Annual Program Review which outlines an action plan for programmatic improvement using alumni surveys, program, and ACGME resident and faculty surveys, ABP board passage rates, aggregate in-service-training exam results, feedback from site directors, and other reports.

Housestaff Council

The Housestaff Council is composed of residents from all the various training programs here at WRNMMC. HSC representatives are responsible for attending monthly meetings, on the second Thursday of every month. This is an amazing opportunity to get face time with senior leadership on issues pertinent to residents. 

Elected residents serve for one year, but can be elected for subsequent years.
