The House Staff Handbook defines and delineates GME policies and residents are required to know and understand these policies and procedures. 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 are 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 in relation to 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 to which activities the resident will be allowed to perform within the context of the assigned levels of responsibility. The overriding consideration must be the safe and effective care of the patient that is the responsibility of the staff practitioner. Both formal examinations and performance ratings by the faculty are utilized, and the resident physician is personally apprised of his or her strengths and weaknesses at appropriate intervals at least twice annually. Completion by the program director of an annual summative review is an important part of this evaluation process. The Residency Program Director has the responsibility to determine and to document in writing, that the resident physician possesses the skills necessary to practice at the level commensurate with their training. General Supervision General supervision is provided by appropriately privileged teaching staff. This supervision is direct, indirect or provided as oversight. All resident care is supervised and the attending physician is ultimately responsible for care of the patient. The proximity and timing of supervision, as well as the specific tasks delegated to the resident physician depend on a number of factors, including: • the level of training (i.e., year in residency) of the resident • the skill and experience of the resident with the particular care situation • the familiarity of the supervising physician with the resident’s abilities • the acuity of the situation and the degree of risk to the patient 2.
