Resident Training Log

Activity Weeks:

• Activity week dropdowns are now structured as dependent lists and will automatically adjust as rotation type, location, and supervisor are selected by the resident.
• Residents can now log activities in combination with recording activity weeks. Cases, educational events, specialty training, and seminars are just a click away.
• Resident advisors can now review a week and associated activities together.

Cases:

• Residents can categorize cases faster and more accurately. Procedure names and core curriculum categories will automatically adjust as the resident types.
• All users can easily access and track a resident’s progress towards both total and directly supervised case requirements with the reimagined core curriculum summary page.
• Cases cannot be bulk imported or exported from the new system.
• CERT is responsive to allow case and other activity entry on mobile devices.

• Specialty rotations completed as weeks will be entered as activity weeks and do not need to be recorded as separate rotations, too. The weeks will show in both the Activity Weeks and Specialty Services areas to help residents keep track.
• Specialty training completed as hours will be added only to the Specialty Services section.
• Supervisors for specialty rotations will see training from all residents in one convenient landing page.

Log Review by Resident Advisor:

• When viewing a resident’s logs you will see a header alert for items pending review.
• Resident advisors can now also review a week and associated activities together.

External Rotations/Cases:

• Cases supervised by ACVS Diplomates not associated with the primary residency location(s) are now approved within CERT. Similar to specialty rotations, residents need only add the supervisor’s name, location, and email address. External surgical activity week entries are reviewed by your resident advisor.
• External supervisors will have consolidated pages to review training from all residents.

Semi-Annual Reviews:

• The system is not contingent on semi-annual reviews to push training to the committee review status.
• Semi-annual reviews are still required for each six months of training.
