Slowly but Surely

I will have to admit, summer and the beginning of fall have proven to be very challenging in the development of this residency program. Between vacations, weddings and a busy clinic schedule it has been tough to get as much done as I originally anticipated. It was definitely helpful having a solid base to work with as section one of the credentialing document was all but complete before our schedules became hectic.

I am continuing to work on section 2 of the document and have made pretty good progress though it has taken longer than I expected. I have outlined areas that I will need assistance with, such as financial areas in which I need to sit down with one of the owners of the clinic.

We have been more vocal about the development of the residency program to try and attract candidates in the near future. In the coming weeks I plan to meet with another clinician who will be assisting me in some of the development of the residency and to show her section 2 to have someone read what I have been drafting.

Completing Section 2

Well I am officially back at it and well into section 2 of the credentialing document. I am working on writing what my job description will be and am working my way through the forms that accompany this section.

I need to finalize who will be involved in the mentoring of the resident to help complete the required documents for 2.2.2/2.2.3. This will also involve gathering additional information from these individuals in order to appropriately fill out the forms.

I am due to meet with one of the owners in the next week or two to discuss the progress of the residency and to be sure we are beginning to market the program as effectively as possible. Hopefully I will have applicants to report on in coming blogs!
