1 Frequently Asked Questions: Pediatrics Review Committee for Pediatrics ACGME Question Program Personnel and Resources Who may serve in the program leadership liaison position? May more than one individual serve in this role? [Program Requirement: I.A.1.] What specialty qualifications are acceptable to the Review Committee if the program director does not have current certification in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP)? [Program Requirement: II.A.3.b)] What specialty qualifications are acceptable to the Review Committee if a member of the physician faculty does not have current certification in pediatrics by the ABP? [Program Requirement: II.B.2] A senior resident, chief resident or junior faculty member may serve as the liaison. More than one individual may be designated to serve as liaison. As long as a designated liaison is available to residents and program leadership at all times, a single designated liaison or any combination of part-time senior resident, chief resident or junior faculty would be acceptable. There are no acceptable alternative qualifications for the program director. The program director must be board-certified in pediatrics or in a subspecialty of pediatrics by the ABP, and must meet the requirements for Maintenance of Certification. For a faculty member who has not achieved certification from the American Board of Pediatrics, the Review Committee will consider the following criteria in determining whether alternate qualifications are acceptable: completion of a pediatrics residency program leadership in the field of pediatrics scholarship within the field of pediatrics involvement in pediatrics organizations Alternate qualifications will not be accepted for individuals who have completed ACGMEaccredited residency education within the United States and are not eligible for certification by the ABP, who have failed the ABP certification exam, or who have chosen not to take the ABP certification exam. Years of practice are not an equivalent to specialty board certification, and neither the ABP nor the Review Committee accepts the phrase "board eligible." 2015 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Page 1 of 5

2 Educational Program What is the intent of the requirement that the curriculum should incorporate the competencies into the context of the major professional activities for which residents should be entrusted? Can (or should) I use Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) as a framework for my pediatric residency program curriculum? [Program Requirement IV.A.2.c)] The onus of documenting alternate qualifications is on the program director. The requirement is a detailed requirement which gives programs with a status of Continued Accreditation the option of using EPAs as a framework for their competency-based curriculum. EPAs for general pediatrics are currently published on the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) website: EPAs create a context for the Pediatric Subcompetencies and Milestones, which facilitates meaningful assessment and also include the concept of entrustment which can help guide the level of supervision needed by trainees and guide progressive responsibility for patient care. Each EPA includes several subcompetencies that are felt critical for entrustment decisions. EPAs also provide a less granular, top-down view of a trainee that focuses on a trainee s ability to integrate subcompetencies in the delivery of care. EPAs align what faculty are being asked to assess with what they actually do in the clinical learning environment (i.e., supervise trainees in the delivery of patient care). What is the expectation for the design of residents subspecialty experiences? [Program Requirement: IV.A.6.b).(3)] Programs with a status of Continued Accreditation should feel free to innovate, use EPAs and collaborate with the pediatric education community on their development, study, and implementation. The design of subspecialty experiences needs to blend inpatient and outpatient experiences that reflect the spectrum of practice of the specialty, but emphasize the skills needed by a general pediatrician. Educational units allow for experiences that are block or longitudinal. Subspecialties on the second list (IV.A.6.b).(3).(d).(i) (a)-(m)) do not have to be full educational unit. They can be shorter and combined with other specialties to add up to the three educational units Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Page 2 of 5

3 What is the definition of a medical home The definition of a patient-centered medical home continues to evolve. A current definition and what are the essential components can be found on the American Academy of Pediatrics-sponsored website expected by the Review Committee? [Program Requirement: IV.A.6.b).(5).(c)] The Review Committee expects a medical home to contain the following elements: Evaluation Are proprietary patient satisfaction surveys to assess residents abilities with the competencies an acceptable evaluation method? [Program Requirement: V.A.1.b).(2)] Should patients and their families be included as evaluators? [Program Requirement: V.A.1.b).(2)] 1. family-centered care; 2. team-based care with health professionals from different specialties and disciplines; 3. an identified Care Coordinator; 4. a registry so that there is a focus on the health of a population of patients; and, 5. a connection to the community, e.g. schools, foster care, etc. Proprietary surveys generally are not acceptable as they do not provide feedback specific to a particular resident. The Review Committee has cited programs who use only such instruments to assess the competencies because (1) there is no documentation that multiple evaluation methods are being used; and (2) the survey data is not useful, meaningful, or actionable information because it is not resident-specific. The Review Committee expects that families and patients be involved in assessing residents professionalism and interpersonal and communication skills. Inclusion of these individuals provides more comprehensive and meaningful feedback since their interactions with residents are different from those of the faculty. It also documents that programs are complying with the requirement for multiple evaluation methods to assess competence. Resident Duty Hours in the Learning and Working Environment Are there situations in which residents Physician assistants, nurse practitioners, psychologists, physical and occupational may be supervised by licensed therapists, speech and language pathologists, dieticians/nutritionists, counselors, and independent practitioners? audiologists are just some of the providers who see their own patients and may serve as teachers and/or supervisors for residents as appropriate in ambulatory (i.e., school-based [Program Requirement: VI.D.1] health centers, child development clinics) and inpatient (i.e., neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)) settings. Some states may have regulatory rules that won t allow licensed independent practitioners to supervise residents Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Page 3 of 5

4 Can PGY-1 residents make parent concern calls? [Program Requirements: VI.D.5.a).(1) and VI.G.4.a)] What is an appropriate patient load for residents? [Program Requirement: VI.E.] Who should be included on the interprofessional teams? [Program Requirement: VI.F.] What is the difference between night float, night shift, and night call? [Program Requirement: VI.G.6] Interns may not take parent concern calls from home, but may take parent concern calls within the 16-hour duty period from the hospital or other clinical site where supervision is either direct or indirect with direct supervision immediately available. It is suggested that the patient loads be a minimum of five on the general inpatient unit, and four in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and NICU. However, there may be situations in which lower patient loads may be acceptable. Programs will need to justify lower patient loads with evidence, such as severity of illness indicators or other factors. Examples of professional personnel who may be part of the interprofessional teams include nurses, physician assistants, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, social workers, child-life specialists, physical and occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, audiologists, respiratory therapists, psychologists, and nutritionists. Night call is defined as: Traditional Night Call is for those working in the day who will also stay at night to provide patient care. Night call applies to PGY-2 residents and above. Night call must not occur more frequently than every third night when averaged over a four-week period. Night call is limited to 24+four hours. There may be no additional clinical responsibilities after 24 hours. Strategic napping after 16 hours of duty is suggested. Night Float is defined as: Night Float involves the episodic coverage of patients just at night, e.g., a resident assigned to a one-month block of cardiology does a series of nights of patient coverage in the PICU. Residents come from another educational experience to do a series of night shifts. There may be no more than six consecutive nights. Night Shift is defined as: Night Shift is a scheduled series of nights to provide consistent care at night that 2015 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Page 4 of 5

5 mirrors the day shift. This is the new paradigm for PGY-1 residents There is a limit of 16-hour shifts Residents should have 10 hours between shifts and must have eight hours free between scheduled duty periods There may be no more than six consecutive shifts There is no limit on night shift during an educational unit, however: The balance between day and night must be appropriate, and Education must occur for residents doing shifts Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Page 5 of 5
