How are residents evaluated?
Residency preceptors will evaluate residents continuously throughout their learning experiences through verbal and written evaluations. At the completion of a learning experience the preceptor will evaluate the resident with a summative evaluation form specific for that learning experience. Preceptors will use the ASHP "PGY1 Required and Elective Educational Objectives Criteria for Measuring Resident Performance" as a guide to complete the summative evaluation forms.
What teaching opportunities are there for residents?
Each resident will precept Wayne State IPPE students for one semester. In addition, residents will be expected to play an active role in precepting APPE students who are scheduled on rotation with them through a layered learning model. Residents also participate in the Wayne State Teaching Certificate program.
What is the staffing requirement?
Residents will staff a hybrid operational and clinical shift every other weekend.
