NYCOMEC's Extended Faculty Development Program Draws Large Crowd
More than 80 faculty from our member institutions, as well as many more participating via teleconference, attended NYCOMEC's Extended Faculty Development Program on June 8, 2017 at the NYITCOM Old Westbury Campus.
Samuel Sandowski,M.D., Vice President
of Medical Education, D.I.O., and Director, Family M
edicine Residency Program, South Nassau Communities Hospital, presented on the oversight responsibilities of Sponsoring Institutions with ACGME-accredited programs. His discussion covered the functions of the Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) and Program Evaluation Committee (PEC); specifically their roles in supporting the Sponsoring Institution in ensuring quality training programs and adherence to ACGME Standards. He also provided an overview of the process and criteria required in preparing the Sponsoring Institution's Annual Institutional Report (AIR).
Robert G.G. Piccinini, D.O.
, D.F.A.C.N., National Author & Chair, American
Osteopathic Association's Physician Wellness Taskforce and a practicing Psychiatrist in Sterling Heights, MI, gave a thought-provoking presentation on the prevalence of burnout, depression and suicidal ideation among physicians at the different stages of their careers (e.g., student, resident, practicing physician, and retired physician). Dr. Piccinini's recent article, which was published by the National Academy of Sciences in March 2017, provided the framework for his presentation, in which he reviewed possible influences contributing to the escalation of physician burnout and suicide, signs and symptoms, and what actions, both individual and institution-wide, can be adopted to reduce the trend.
Emphasis was placed on facilitating wellness through a multi-pronged approach that incorporates education, mentorship/positive modeling, resources, and the opportunity for candid discussion without fear of punitive action.
Also, an
article, titled Advice for Physicians Struggling with Burnout or Mental Illness and published in The DO, quoted Dr. Piccinini on how to address burnout, depression and suicide. To read the article please click here.
Both programs were recorded and are available to our member institutions. Please contact NYCOMEC's office at 516.686.3730 for access codes.

Common Program Requirements Section VI Implementation
Section VI of the Common Program Requirements was approved by the ACGME Board of Directors in February, 2017, and where applicable, language and Program Requirement numbers have been updated in specialty-specific Program Requirement documents, FAQs, and applications. This language will be effective July 1, 2017.
Common Program Requirements Section VI Implementation Table Available
The effective date of the major revision of Section VI is July 1, 2017, and programs, in partnership with their Sponsoring Institutions, must begin working toward the implementation of the new Section VI elements immediately. However, because programs and institutions will need time to develop and implement resources and activities to comply with the new requirements related to patient safety, quality improvement, and well-being, no citations will be issued on the majority of the requirements in these areas before July 1, 2019.
A
table
indicating the date upon which each requirement will be subject to citation is available on the Program Requirements and FAQs and Applications page of each specialty's section of the website, as well as on the
Common Program Requirements
page
and at
acgme.common.org.
E-mail any questions related to the Common Program Requirements or implementation of Section VI specifically to
[email protected].
