The Swedish Ob/Gyn Residency will closely follow all ACGME required policies in terms of work hour policies, resident evaluations, and program policies
Resident Evaluations: The primary basis for evaluation will be the Obstetrics and Gynecology milestones and six core competencies: medical knowledge, patient care, professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, practice-based learning and improvement, and systems-based practice. Evaluations and milestones will be specific for each postgraduate year of residency, allowing for training-level-specific evaluation of resident progress.
Work Hour Policies: Swedish Ob/Gyn residency will closely follow all ACGME required work hour polices. Work hours will be logged in New Innovations. Clinical and educational work hours must be limited to 80 hours per week, averaged over a four-week period, including all in-house clinical and educational activities, and clinical work done from home. Residents must be provided with one day in seven free from all educational and clinical responsibilities, averaged over a four-week period. At-home calls cannot be assigned on these free days. Residents must have at least 14 hours free of clinical work and education after 24 hours of in-house call. Clinical and educational work periods for residents must not exceed 24 hours of continuous scheduled clinical assignments.
A night float system will be utilized for clinical coverage at night, which will follow the ACGME policies of of the 80-hour and one-day-off-in-seven-requirements.
