The 2006 ALSO course was a rousing success! Five residency programs - UTMB, UT Houston, Baylor, San Jac and Methodist - were represented by their instructors and 60+ participants. It was the largest class we've had yet and we're so pleased that it all went so well. Every single registered participant passed the exams and achieved their certificate. The residents were so well-prepared that most worked their way through the mega-delivery in under 15 minutes, which was a treat for all.
I love doing this course and especially enjoy the opportunity to network with my colleagues in FM who do obstetrics in their practices.
The UTMB residents did exceptionally well and it was a real pleasure to see you represent us in such a good light. You knew your stuff, were professional and friendly and fun to work with. Many of the other residents were not as well prepared and were really anxious with the workshops and material. Once again, I'm proud of you all. Good work!
On another topic, the R2s are off to HealthFind this weekend. I know you'll have a great time there too. I hope many of you identify some good job prospects. Probably most of you know already... but HealthFind is how I found my private practice after residency. It's a really great program that we're lucky to have access to.
Again, good work everyone!

Residents - good job!
For the second quarter in a row, Family Medicine leads the University in highest number of Inpatient charts completed on time! Excellent work!!
I probably don't tell you all nearly often enough how much I appreciate your hard work. I really do. There are things about certain aspects of my job that I find personally "challenging" (<-- P.C. term there) from time to time, but being the Residency Director is not one of them! I would say that 98% of the time, I REALLY, REALLY love being the Residency Director and you guys are the reason why. Thanks for all you do.

Odds & Ends
ALSO Course: R2s - if you haven't picked up your manual for the ALSO Course, please do so right away. Jackie has them. You need to read through the material BEFORE the course! Failure to do so most likely will result in your not passing the written exam. The ALSO course is required for our program, so if you do not pass it, you will be required to take it again at your own expense. Residency pays the first time.
Kudos to Donna S! We've been contacted twice in the last week with commendations about your work! Keep it up, we're proud of you!
Recruiting 2007: Hard to believe it's almost time for recruiting season to start. We'll be having our first Recruiting Team Meeting next Wednesday, 8/16, at noon in 2.268. All residents, please plan to join us if your schedule allows.

Portfolio system
Yesterday we debuted our new portfolio system to the faculty, during the Quarterly Evaluation process. It was a resounding success, and the faculty are very excited about the convenience and ease of the new system. Advisor meetings for R3s this month will be documented in the portfolio. R3s - make sure you have turned on permission for your Advisor to access your portfolio!!
As the R2s review the Quarterly Evaluations, I look forward to your comments about the portfolio. Please route suggestions to me or Ron Williams.

Epic "Go-Live"
Email message from Dr. Raley 8/2/06:
Congratulations to all providers and staff for the successful completion of our first day of Epic Go-Live! I want to commend you on the speed and accuracy with which you have already learned to use the system and for your positive attitudes that continue to shine through. I would like to particulary thank those who worked in Urgent Care last night during the rush of patients arriving after 5pm this includes the Nurses, OSAs, the many residents who stayed to see patients as well as Debra Kimmey, PA, Dr. Carter and Dr. Smith. This is an excellent example of team work.
From LRN: As expected, the residents are handily showing up the faculty in the conversion! I'm really proud of how well you've all done and the great, positive attitude you've shown. Many of the faculty are struggling with the conversion and you are wonderful role models. Also, thanks for giving of your time to mentor us as we learn the new system! We REALLY appreciate it!
