Clinical Rotations and Educational
Objectives
Overview
Providing educational training in any given
setting involves making decisions about three
basic issues:
- What should be learned? (content)
- How should learning occur? (teaching methods)
- How should learning be assessed? (evaluation
methods)
Clinical instruction in our residency program
is based on the twelve components of the residency
training program (Twelve
Components of the Training Program). This
framework serves as the primary organizational
approach used in curriculum planning and assessment.
Content for clinical training within this program
is based primarily on the requirements of the
Residency Review Committee for Physical Medicine
& Rehabilitation. Further information about
those requirements can be found at http://www.acgme.org;
click on the section entitled Program Requirements;
then click on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
The Department states unequivocally that the primary
purpose of the residency training program is to
ensure that its graduates achieve minimal competence,
leading to the ability to practice independently
and to achieve board certification in Physical
Medicine & Rehabilitation. The attainment
of this purpose will preclude the excessive reliance
on resident physicians for clinical service and/or
resident participation in extra- curricular activities.
The Department has developed extensive policies
and procedures to assure that the education of
resident physicians is given top priority within
this program.
