Having the Residency Handbook done for the resident’s first
day was very helpful for all of us. From the companies perspective, it helped
us to be organized and on the same page with many of the policies and
procedures. For the resident, it provided a good framework for the program and
a good reference manual that will be used throughout the program.
The first week seemed to go smoothly and was focused mainly
on orientation to the clinic, residency expectations and getting comfortable
with the staff and her surroundings. There was also a football camp that
allowed the resident time to meet athletic trainers, coaches and athletes that
the resident will work with throughout the year.
All in all, I think we are off to a great start and I’m
excited to see how everything goes over the next 12 months.
