Evaluation of Procedures and Resident Check List

All procedures requiring procedural competency require the submission of 5 procedures cards or a copy of the procedure note signed by the supervising clinician for the resident file. The only exception is completing 3 paracenteses.

In order to receive independent certification for central line placement, you must submit 5 procedure cards/notes of an individual technique (internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral). You will then be certified to place central lines independently using that technique only. You must complete certification in at least one type.

When a resident has demonstrated procedural competency, University Medical Center and the Lied Ambulatory Clinic will be notified.

Residents that have demonstrated procedural competency on a certain procedure will be able to supervise and sign procedure cards for that procedure for other trainees.

Documentation of ACLS certification is kept in the resident file.

Residents are expected to review the available NEJM training videos on each procedure listed under knowledge competencies.
