• Rotation-specific CanMEDS objectives have been elaborated. The residents rotate throughout the three teaching hospitals: the Montreal General, Jewish General and Royal Victoria hospitals. Ìý
• The PGY5 residents will be able to see patients and define a treatment plan independently; the resident should possess sufficient basic and clinical knowledge and technical skills to undertake the management of patients under the supervision of the appropriate staff.
• At this level, the resident will be responsible for the supervision and teaching of more junior residents, medical students, the management of patients on the wards, and ensuring coverage of emergency and inpatient consultations.
• The senior resident will be responsible for many activities within the post-graduate program to include: sitting on post-graduate committees, organization of education activities including rounds, journal clubs and seminars as well as organization of all the vacation schedules.
• Their technical training is designed to meet the requirements as outlined in the rotational objectives of the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery Residency Handbook.
• Senior residents (PGY4 & PGY5) at each hospital site are evaluated according to their specific exposure using the One45 system. Evaluations forms are different from the junior residents (PGY2 & PGY3) evaluation. All residents must undergo a STASER or STACER evaluation by attending staff person every six months. They are also evaluated by 360 degree inter-professional evaluation (feedback from allied health care personnel, nurses, secretaries)
• During their final year in otolaryngology, residents are expected to develop proficiency in the following:
