Reminder: Its your time to be POPULAR

I am glad to inform you all that INTERVIEW season is here starting next week. It will continue till early January, 2018. I expect full support from all of you. Please come and interact with the new applicants, let them know about our program and answer their questions and concerns. Just think about the time when you were interviewing, and share your views.
We are also planning to run the slideshow of our residents and faculties to show the camaraderie between the residents and faculties, to show our scholarly activities ( presentations, posters and awards during major conferences or meetings) and last but not the least, hangouts (how we are enjoying our free time) to make them feel relaxed while they are waiting for their interviews. I encourage all of you to share as many pictures as possible.
You can iMessage, whatsapp, email, share drive or bring flash drive to me. We will try to show all the pictures with comments.

Thank you all for your support to make our program better!

NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) certification

Residents who are going to be on floor rotations in the next module are strongly encouraged to take the course and get certified in the next couple of weeks. The rest of the residents are requested to complete the training and submit their certificates within 30 days from today.

Please note that there are multiple levels of certification in the NIHSS. You are requested to sign up for and get certified in the first level only (Test Group A). After completing the training materials for this level you will have the option of requesting your own certificate of completion through the same website.

Google Suite For Education for all residents

Good news everyone – Google has accepted our application for a full Google Suite for Education account for our residency program! This gives us access to the entire suite of Google’s cloud-based software and educational tools for free. Take a look at what Google Suite for Education has to offer:

Google Suite for Education:
https://edu.google.com/products/productivity-tools/

Overview of Google Suite:
https://gsuite.google.com/

What this will entitle everyone in our program to is a private Google account (firstname.lastname@ubresidents.com) with access to Gmail powered e-mail services, google docs, unlimited file storage in google drive, and a whole host of other services. I am working to get our account to be compliant with HIPAA so that we can store patient sensitive information on there too if needed.

If you are interested in obtaining an account, please e-mail me privately and I will set you up with one.

Conference Schedule Issues

For anyone that may have been experiencing issues with accessing the conference schedule, the issue has now been resolved. You no longer need to sign-in with a google account to access the most updated copy of the schedule.

As a reminder, the conference schedule is no longer being e-mailed out. It will now be available at the following URL:

Module Conference Schedule

This will be updated to reflect the schedule for the current module throughout the year. Please be sure to review the conference schedule at the beginning of every module so that you know when you are scheduled to present. Contact the chiefs or Arlene with any questions. Thanks!
