21 21 P age UCSDHS/VASDHS CCEP TRAINING : CURRICULUM AND OBJECTIVES: Appendix A. Methods and Tools for Evaluating Core Competencies in Clinical Cardiac 1. Patient Care: Current evaluation forms contain an assessment of the residents patient care abilities, including compassionate, appropriate and effective treatment of health problems and the promotion of health. This competency is formally evaluated during each rotation by direct observation of the resident by the faculty during history taking, physical examination, order and note writing, and during presentation to the attending of the patient s history and physical finding and discussion of treatment plans and follow up. This is also assessed during outpatient clinics. It is proposed that the evaluation and assurance of this competency be continued in the manner that it is currently determined through direct observation by the faculty and written evaluation, particularly since this competency cannot be evaluated by any single observation or test. 2. Medical Knowledge: Currently, medical knowledge is evaluated on an ongoing daily basis by the faculty during routine interactions with the resident, by observing the resident during case presentations and discussion of treatment plans, procedures, lectures, teaching activities, research etc. The level of medical knowledge of each resident is then noted in the written evaluation provided by each faculty member during each rotation. This method of evaluation, while certainly valid, is subjective however, and therefore a written examination has been developed at this Institution as an additional tool to test the level of medical knowledge in specific required core areas as noted in the ACGME Program Requirements for Residency Education in CCEP, IV. Specific Program Content. This examination will be given to the CCEP residents semiannually (December and May). This written examination will be composed of questions supplied by the CCEP faculty members, and designed to test the resident s medical knowledge in areas of rotations that they have already completed during the program. The questions may be derived from those provided to residents at each core lecture presented by the faculty, from ABIM approved sources, from textbooks, journals, and other peer reviewed resources. The examination taken by each resident may differ slightly depending on the rotations completed at the time of the examination. In addition, the procedural skills that must be acquired in CCEP require faculty observation and testing to determine resident competency. The determination of procedural competencies has been traditionally evaluated on an ongoing basis during procedures performed by the resident under the direct observation or with the assistance of the CCEP faculty, who has then duly noted the level of skill and areas of competency or deficiency in a written evaluation at the end of each rotation. Again, since this is a subjective method of evaluation, we are developing at this Institution a set of proctoring forms that lists specific skills for each type of procedure that the resident is expected to acquire during his/her training. During each rotation each faculty member will then be required to complete for each resident all proctoring forms relevant to the types of procedures performed during that rotation. This

22 22 P age UCSDHS/VASDHS CCEP TRAINING : CURRICULUM AND OBJECTIVES: approach will provide a more reliable objective assessment of the skills that each resident is competent or deficient in, which will allow the director and faculty to identify any specific areas that a resident will need additional training in order to achieve the desired level competency in all required skills. 3. Practice based learning and improvement: Fellows will review with the attending their workup, treatment plan, procedures and follow up plan in specific cases that they have been involved with. The fellows will be required to review the current scientific literature regarding their patient's specific medical conditions, and then re evaluate their approach to this patient's care to determine if there could have been any improvement. The fellows will then present these cases for review by the faculty at regularly scheduled case presentation conferences held Thursday mornings throughout the year. The faculty will evaluate the critical components of the fellows care of these patients, review and discuss the known scientific literature as it pertains to these cases, and discuss areas where there could have been improvement in care if any. Attendance and presentation of cases at the regularly held case presentation conferences is mandatory and will be documented on sign in sheets. 4. Interpersonal and Communication Skills: This is an ongoing activity, which is evaluated during each rotation by the faculty and is documented in the evaluation forms completed by the faculty at the end of each rotation. The resident will be observed directly by the faculty during interaction with patients and family at least three times during each clinical rotation. The faculty will observe the resident during initial contact with the patient to determine skills in history taking, physical examination, communication of the conclusions regarding the patients medical condition and the proposed plan of treatment, during the informed consent process if a procedure is to be performed, and during communication of the results and follow up plans with the patient and family after completion of any proposed treatment. The skills in these areas will be documented by the faculty member on each occasion for inclusion in the final evaluation or the resident after completion of each rotation, and the faculty member will discuss with the resident his/her proficiencies and any deficiencies and means for improvement after each observation. Interaction of the residents with other health professionals in the clinics or EP laboratory will be assess by the faculty member during each rotation as well, for inclusion in the final evaluation. This same process will be ongoing in the outpatient clinics as well, during which time the faculty will observe the resident interacting with patients, patient's family members, and other health care professionals on a weekly basis. 5. Professionalism: The faculty will observe the residents throughout their training for their commitment to behaving in a professional manner, adhering to ethical principles, and their sensitivity to others regardless of economic or ethnic background or social beliefs. Any incidents of unprofessional or unethical conduct, or disregard or lack of sensitivity for diversity among patients, staff or colleagues, observed by the faculty will be brought to the immediate attention of the program

23 23 P age UCSDHS/VASDHS CCEP TRAINING : CURRICULUM AND OBJECTIVES: director, who will then through documented policies and procedures of the institution take appropriate corrective action. The residents will also be required to attend the regularly scheduled Core Lecture series offered by the Department of Medicine, where topics on ethics, physician well being, diversity, etc. are discussed. 6. Systems Based Practice: The residents will utilize the hospital system of their own accord and the faculty members will direct the resident to perform many actions within this system related to the care of their patients during the course of training. These actions in most cases will involve awareness and the capability of working within the context of the global health care system in order to coordinate and implement the treatment plan for their patients. The ability of the resident to function in this capacity will be evaluated on an ongoing basis during the course of each rotation and this ability and any recommendations for improvement will be documented in the evaluation provided by each faculty member at the end of each rotation. Any deficiencies in this capacity will be discussed with each resident during each rotation so that they are allowed time for improvement, and again at the end of each rotation during discussion of the final evaluation.
