Position Summary

Essential Functions and Responsibilities of the Job

• 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. Trainees may write orders and progress notes in patient charts, although attending physicians retain responsibility for the care of patients seen by trainees 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. Trainees may only perform those procedures for which the attending physician has privileges. Once the trainee has performed the appropriate number of procedures in a competent fashion, the program director will provide notification that the trainee is eligible to be certified to perform the procedure without direct supervision.
• Assume progressive responsibility for patient care activities according to the trainee's level of education, ability, and experience. The program director and the attending staff will determine the trainee'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 on a continuous basis.
• Participate fully in the educational and scholarly activities of the program and as required, assume responsibility for teaching and supervising other trainees 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 institutional policies and procedures, including the provisions of the GME Policy and Procedure Manual, the training program(s), and the regulations of any affiliated institution to which the trainee may be assigned.
