The Rise of Program Coordinator as a Career
- 1. The Rise of Program Coordinator as a Career Amy Motta Residency Program Coordinator Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center July 25, 2017
- 2. Program Coordinator • It used to be one of the hats the administrative assistant to the Program Director wore • Now, it is more of a stand-alone, recognized profession
- 3. Professionalism • What does it mean to be a professional Program Coordinator? • Be on time • Complete tasks • Meet deadlines • Confidentiality (residents are our students) yet some things need to go to the PD
- 4. Take Charge of Your Career! • Seek out opportunities • Attend monthly GME coordinator meetings • Attend APC/GMEAS meetings • Join a committee • Take a course • Apply for TAGME certification • Reach out and build your network
- 5. TAGME • TAGME certifies coordinators • That’s why some coordinators have “C-TAGME” after their name • Requirements • Coordinator for 3 years • Educational credits (national meetings, webinars) • Personal professional development (presentations, leadership role on committee)
- 6. Before GMEAS . . . There was NCERP
- 7. GMEAS • Part of APC, under PRODS • Started in 2012 • We are here to support each other • What is said in GMEAS stays in GMEAS • We are not in competition with each other
- 8. What’s Next? • ACGME Coordinator Advisory Group • Started in 2016 • When the ACGME wants coordinator input on an issue, they go to this group • Change ACGME requirements regarding coordinators, led by CDTF • Coordinator Milestones
- 9. Final Thoughts • Take Risks • Ask Questions • Get Involved • Take courses • Get TAGME Certified • You Got This!
Editor's Notes
- Handout Feel free to ask questions
- Tell LeeTanya business card story
- Seek out opportunities I joined the pathology safety committee Nothing to do with GME Learned a lot about “occurrences” involving residents and sharps Attend ACGME meetings too No committee within your GME office? Start one! Take a course All those soft skills we need (communication, time management, how to run an effective meeting, etc.) HR at your institutions Continuing Education at your institution (I took that organization class) Local college/university Library On-line Some degree of risk taking, it will be okay
- Check their website for application requirements Keep track of dates of things like national meetings, webinars (like APC, AHME and ACGME) Some are free Volunteer to present! Your GME office or the Pathology Department may pay the fee to apply, around $300 Take the test, it’s not scary May be able to use TAGME certification to argue for a reclassification or a pay increase
- There was a time when there was no national organization for pathology program coordinators Sad! But there was the National Center for the Evaluation of Residency Programs A meeting for Pathology Program Coordinators only Coordinators would do a lot of the presenting We built friendships! and a network! That sewed the seeds of what is now GMEAS!
- ACGME Coordinator Advisory Group 13 members We have a voice! Change ACGME requirements If you read the CPR, we are “clerical personnel”, grr Some specialty requirements outline the FTE (this many residents = this many FTE of coordinators) Milestones
