- Make sure that you have at least 10 daily shift evaluations in Qualtrics. If you are under the goal, please remind your attendings on your next several shifts (or the shift you’re on right now!) to complete them for you.
- The self-evaluation template is due to your CCC member by May 5th. You’ll review this, your shift and semi-annual evaluations and other objective data with your CCC member at your end of year meeting. It’s slightly spruced up, a little abbreviated and highly anticipated by your advisors.
- Faculty Evals: keep the daily shift evals coming. These are a big part of annual review for faculty and help us refine your learning experience on shift. We are pivoting to the Semi-Annual Faculty Evaluations (select from the dropdown menu after initiating a survey) as we near the end of the academic year. These QR codes and links also live on the residency site for your convenience!
Documentation Update from Cornell (but get in the habit on both campuses):
-Use the “.resmdm” template for your Assessment and Plan section of the note
-All patients should have a re-evaluation documented in their chart:
- If admitting the patient, the provider signout note is sufficient.
- If you are discharging a patient create the following dot phrase (.resdispo) and use it in a reevaluation note:

@ME@ - Seniors: Please remind off-service residents, especially on their first day, about documentation expectations.
Elective Request Form Update from Dr. Mark Curato:
We’ve made a significant improvement to the way you request and schedule your electives. You no longer need to use the MedForm form. Now, you’ll use this form, which will also be linked on the nypem.net site.
The process is now MUCH easier for you.
Your end of the bargain is that the deadlines must be observed. You should not expect a reminder or nudge when your elective is approaching. Rather, if you fail to get your elective submitted and approved on-time you may just hear from the chiefs to let you know that you’re being scheduled for an EM block instead.
A few details/tips:
- Craft thoughtful learning objectives with your faculty preceptor so as to maximize your chances of approval.
- All electives now include a learning objective related to culturally responsive medicine, which is clearly described on the form.
- We will push your evaluation to your preceptor after your elective, so you don’t need to worry about that; your only job is to show up, learn, meet your learning objectives, and have fun!
- At this moment, NYP still prohibits “away” rotations. This is out of the hands of residency leadership. If you have a compelling case for an exception we will be glad to submit the formal request to GME for you. Their deadline for that is 120 days prior to proposed elective (and you should definitely have a back-up “home” elective in mind.)
We’re happy to field any questions!

From Dr. Ouyang: Journal Club on Health Reporting:
The next Journal Club on Health Reporting will take place on Wednesday, May 26th at 1 pm. We will do a special session as part of the department’s “Wilderness, Environmental and Disaster Medicine” medical student course that Dr. Tedeschi runs. To give everyone time to read the articles, I am sending them out in advance. I hope everyone who is free can join. Your insights and perspectives will surely be appreciated by the students. Zoom link to follow.

From Columbia Operations and Education Leadership: PGY 3’s at Notifications
Whenever possible,
- PGY 3’s should respond to all Area D notifications. They should write an MSE note.
- While they can assist with stabilization and procedures if they choose, a clear handoff from the PGY 3 resident to the Area D Attending + Resident/PA is necessary because PGY 3s will not be responsible for the continued coverage of patients in Area D, even if they participated in the initial resuscitation.
From Dr. Shah: EMRA Awards / Grants
