Approximately 80 newly minted physicians will begin their residency training at The University of Toledo with an orientation program Wednesday, June 27, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Health Education Building Room 110 on the Health Science Campus.
Nearly 20 UT administrators will speak to the new physicians on such topics as residents as educators, professionalism, HIPAA compliance, safety and health, physician impairment, substance abuse, domestic violence, health information management and institutional diversity.
Also scheduled are talks on unapproved abbreviations, medication errors, adverse drug reactions, medication reconciliation, disaster preparedness, emergency codes, computer systems, electronic health record systems and National Patient Safety Goals.
Among the speakers will be Drs. Jeffrey P. Gold, UT provost and executive vice president for health affairs and dean of the College of Medicine; Mary R. Smith, professor of medicine and pathology and associate dean for graduate and clinical medical education; Samuel J. Hancock, assistant to the president for institutional diversity; and Kris Brickman, Emergency Department medical director. Other speakers will be Chad Tuckerman, manager of clinical pharmacy services; Mike Allison, clinical safety coordinator; and Colleen Miller, compliance coordinator.
Residency training is where new physicians spend anywhere from three to five years learning the intricacies of their specialty. Residency programs vary from three years for family medicine to seven years for some surgical specialties. Medical residents work under the supervision of faculty physicians. Residency programs are an important source of doctors for the state because physicians often set up practice where they train.
