PRE-SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE
STANDARD B4: RESOURCES
"There must be sufficient resources including teaching faculty, the number and variety of
patients, physical and technical resources, as well as the supporting facilities and services
necessary to provide the opportunity for all residents in the program to achieve the educational
objectives and receive full training as defined by the Royal College specialty training
requirements."
Program
Pediatric Infectious Diseases
University
Date of Review (month/year)
Sites Participating in this Program:
Where the resources to provide "full training" are not available at the sponsoring university, several
different types of interuniversity affiliations may be negotiated. It should be noted that the exchange of
residents between two fully accredited programs does not require an interuniversity affiliation.

Summary of Adequacy of Resources
Comment on the adequacy of the resources in the overall program, with particular reference to the
relationship between such resources and the number of residents dependent upon them. Include
consideration of the following questions:
Are there significant areas where the workload of the teachers (clinical care, undergraduate
teaching, etc.) is such to affect adversely the continuous supervision and instruction of
residents in pediatric Infectious Diseases?
Is the number of patients available for teaching sufficient to provide for the training of
residents rotating from other residency programs and services, without adverse effects on
the training of residents in pediatric Infectious Diseases?
Are the diagnostic and basic science facilities available to the program sufficient to provide
adequate teaching and experience for residents in pediatric Infectious Diseases in addition
to other residents sharing the same facilities?
