Ensuring Fairness in Medical Education Assessment
This study takes a first step in centering the margins as we as medical educators grow our understanding of the dynamics of promoting fairness in assessment. Future studies should explore feedback with intentional inclusion and involvement of diverse students, teachers, and researchers at every stage of the research process from conceptualization through dissemination and application of the new learning. We thank our participants for their time and candor discussing this sensitive topic and the Group on Educational Affairs for funding our work. Thank you for your time and attention and the focus that you’ll put on th...

Continuous work coverage in health care: challenges and solutions
Two scourges of 24 x 7 x 365 coverage may be lost on-the-job sleep and soured on-the-job peace for workers, especially for health care workers. Traditionally, attending physicians have had the privilege of call rooms while providing coverage for overnight health care services. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education expanded that privilege to resident

In An Ironic Twist, the AMA Seeks Alternatives to the Residency Matching Program
Jeffrey A. SingerLast weekend the American Medical Association House of Delegates passed a resolution tacitly claiming that the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) is likely anti ‐competitive and a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The resolution concluded:RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association study alternatives to the current residency and fellowship Match process which would be less restrictive on free market competition for applicants. (Directive to Take Action)This is quite surprising, given that the AMA was a co‐defendant, along with the Association of American Medical Col...

It ’s time for the ACGME to protect house staff with work-hour reductions and OSHA protection
A few months ago, I submitted an article to KevinMD summarizing a narrative review I compiled grounded in advocacy journalism asserting that Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-regulated: 1) work hour maximums, and 2) U.S. Department of Labor ’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) misclassification are the leading drivers of preventable occupational injury forRead more …It’s time for the ACGME to protect house staff with work-hour reductions and OSHA protection originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

The impact of current work hour restrictions and OSHA misclassification on house staff health
Over 100,000 medical and surgical resident physicians and fellows (combined,“house staff ”) are the first-line physicians for most patients in the nation’s 1,100+ teaching hospitals. Maximum weekly work hours regulated by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) are colloquially cited to be 80 per week. Notably, however, they are 80 hours averaged over […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com. Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now. Learn more. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

ABMS's Vision: Doubling Down on MOC
Since the American Board of Medical Specialties' (ABMS) "Vision Commission" issued its corporate white-paper "final report," it has become abundantly clear that the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), medical subspecialty societies, and the entire Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (AAMC, AMA, AHA, etc), have no intention of ending mandated re-certification (Source: Dr. Wes)

Building a Charter on Physician Well-Being
Attention to physician well-being is ever-increasing, and solutions are beginning to emerge. Several of us previously published a Perspective in Academic Medicine calling for action in the graduate medical education (GME) world. This paper outlined recommendations at all levels of the health care system to mitigate burnout and promote well-being. However, while there are numerous position papers and suggestions for how to take on this mammoth issue, to date there has been no widely accepted codification of principles or set of commitments to guide organizational and individual action.
In response to this need, the Collabor...

Influencing your resident evaluations for success
Performance appraisals are an integral part of an organization’s assessment of employee and trainee standing. Management and human resource literature is full of analysis and debate regarding how to best rate subordinates. Regardless of evaluation system utilized, some of the common goals of individual appraisals are to monitor progress, identify areas for growth, set goals, guide development, provide and elicit feedback through open communication, and document issues that may require disciplinary action or even alternative career guidance. Effective evaluation processes are transparent, objective, fair, predictable,...

The hidden threat of the 80-hour resident workweek
In an article published by the Atlantic earlier this year, Ryan Park writes that neither truck drivers nor bankers work the kind of gruelingly long hours that doctors — particularly young doctors in their residency programs — do. It is no secret that residency life is demanding and exhausting. Over the last decade, it has also become controversial. Almost a test in itself, as if gauging doctors’ propensity for this field, residencies demand not only time and dedication of their young doctors, but also their unwavering attention and perfection in everything they do; a tall order for any individual who may work...
