Residency program directors and program coordinators have increasing demands placed on them by accrediting agencies and require educational development specifically tailored to their needs.
We created, piloted, and evaluated an educational development program consisting of 10 sessions spanning 1 year for program directors and a parallel set of sessions for program coordinators.
On average, more than half the residency programs participated in the sessions. Programs improved in residency activities related to their program's handbook, interviewing, evaluations, rotation descriptions, and program evaluation. They did not improve in educational scholarly activities. Program directors and coordinators indicated that the program improved their skills, and they would recommend the program for others.
This 10-session program improved important elements of residency education and was favorably received.
住院医师培训项目主任和项目协调员面临着认证机构日益增加的要求，需要专门针对他们的需求量身定制教育发展计划。
我们创建、试点并评估了一个教育发展计划，该计划包括为项目主任举办的为期1年的10次课程，以及为项目协调员举办的平行课程。
平均而言，超过一半的住院医师培训项目参加了这些课程。项目在与项目手册、面试、评估、轮转描述和项目评估相关的住院医师活动方面有所改进。在教育学术活动方面没有改进。项目主任和协调员表示，该计划提高了他们的技能，他们会向其他人推荐该计划。
这个为期10次课程的计划改善了住院医师教育的重要方面，并受到好评。
