Residency program coordinators shoulder the broad responsibility of ensuring their program meets ever-changing accreditation requirements while also making sure residents, faculty, and program directors have all the resources they need. But what about coordinators themselves? They need a resource they can rely on too: a reference that covers the wide-ranging tasks that come up in their day-to-day duties.

The Residency Coordinator's Handbook, Fifth Edition is that resource. It offers residency program and fellowship coordinators the education and field-tested solutions needed to ensure a successful and efficiently run program. With contributors from an array of backgrounds, this book offers a global, multispecialty view of coordinator duties. Coordinators across the career spectrum will benefit from the guidance, sample policies, and program tools they can implement immediately.

This product will help residency program coordinators:

• Manage a training program that meets and exceeds ACGME requirements
• Define and elevate the role of the program coordinator
• Understand GME and related terminology
• Manage recruitment, orientation, and credentialing processes
• Create an environment that supports coordinators, faculty, and resident well-being
• Develop a strong relationship with their program directors
• Identify the key components and structure of program accreditation

This latest update of the Residency Coordinator's Handbook covers the latest update to the ACGME Common Program Requirements and includes a new chapter on adaptive changes made by the GME community, programs, and coordinators in response to a worldwide pandemic.
