CDU National Residency Matching Program Selected Candidates Only:
Resident Physician

Job Summary:

The Charles R. Drew University College of Medicine provides training, in association and cooperation with its affiliated participating institutions, in graduate medical education (GME) programs that meet the standards established by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and its Residency Review Committees. Completion of the training qualifies the participant for certification by a specialty board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Participate in the clinical evaluation and care of patients in a variety of patient care settings with sufficient frequency to achieve the competencies required by their discipline under the supervision of the attending staff. Residents may write orders and progress notes in patient charts, although attending physicians retain responsibility for the care of patients seen by residents and must review the care of their patients.
• Perform procedures, which are specified by each program director, under the direct supervision of the attending physician. Residents may only perform those procedures for which the attending physician has privileges. Once the resident has performed the appropriate number of procedures competently the program director will provide notification that the resident is eligible to be certified to perform the procedure without direct supervision.
• Assume progressive responsibility for patient care activities according to resident’s level of education, ability, and experience. The program director and the attending staff will determine the resident’s level of responsibility and autonomy.
• Communicate effectively with their supervising attending regarding the findings of their evaluation, physical examination, interpretation of diagnostic tests, and intended interventions continuously.
• Participate fully in the educational and scholarly activities of the program and, as required, assume responsibility for teaching and supervising other residents and students.
• Participate in appropriate institutional committees and councils whose actions affect their education and/or patient care including, but not limited to quality assurance and quality improvement activities.
• Develop a personal program of learning to foster continued professional growth with guidance from the teaching staff.
• Abide by all University policies and procedures, including the provisions of the GME Resident Policy and Procedure Manual, the residency training programs, and the regulations of any affiliated institution to which the residents may be assigned.

GRADED RESPONSIBILITIES :

• The resident physician is both a learner and a provider of medical care. The resident physician is involved in caring for patients under the supervision of more experienced physicians. As their training progresses, resident physicians are expected to gain competence and require less supervision, progressing from on-site and contemporaneous supervision to more indirect and periodic supervision.
• Resident physicians are given progressive responsibility for the care of the patient. The determination of a resident physician’s ability to provide care to patients without a supervisor present or act in a teaching capacity is based on formative evaluations and summative evaluations of the resident physician’s clinical experience, judgment, knowledge, and technical skill. These evaluations follow institutional guidelines and align resident physician learning about the general competencies of medical knowledge, patient care, practice-based learning, interpersonal and effective communication, professionalism, and systems-based practice.
• Ultimately, it is the decision of the staff practitioner with direct responsibility of the resident as…
