Centralized Teaching Guidelines

• Attendance will be taken weekly; attendance sheets will be provided by the program office each week and must be filled out and submitted back to the program office weekly by the Module Chair.
• Residents who are not present for their centralized teaching lectures and have not given notice of absence to either the Module Chair or Training Director will be docked half a day from their personal and/or sick days (approved by the Curriculum Subcommittee, May 2016).
• Module lecture attendance is MANDATORY. Residents who are absent from a centralized teaching lecture are required to notify the Module Chair in advance. Remediation of missed lectures is at the discretion of individual Module Chairs. However, residents who have missed a lecture are generally required to review the topic on their own using the reference materials uploaded on one45 and supplemented by literature from PubMed and textbooks from PsychiatryOnline, both available to residents training at 捆绑SM社区. Other resources include:
• Absences in excess of 25% will be signaled to the program office, the module chair, and reviewed by the Competence Committee. Remedial work may also be requested by the Module Chair in these situations. Remedial work may take the form of written reports, submitting questions, presentations, and more.
• PGY1 鈥� PGY4 are expected to go to their clinical rotations when centralized teaching lectures are not scheduled. Centralized teaching time is a protected time and residents are excused from their clinical rotations and other duties in order to attend centralized teaching session.
• PGY5 are expected to study for their Royal College exam at the beginning of the year prior to the start of the centralized teaching lectures as well as throughout the year when centralized teaching lectures are not scheduled. Once the PGY5 complete their Royal College exam, they are expected to go to their clinical rotations.
• Over the coming year, centralized teaching will continue through a combination of videoconference and in person sessions. Efforts will be made to record sessions and store them on myCourses to allow residents to review these sessions at a later time to account for absences and redeployments.
