Seminar Attendance
1. Residents are required to attend a minimum of 70% of their seminars. This
requirement meets the new ACGME Psychiatry-RRC guidelines.
2. Documentation of attendance is secured by each resident signing to attest to their
attendance during the scheduled seminar and completing the seminar evaluation form. A
binder for each resident is kept in the residency conference room for this purpose.
3. Resident attendance is reviewed at each bi-annual meeting with the Residency
Directors.
4. Failure to meet the 70% threshold or misrepresenting attendance will constitute
grounds for initiating the Guidelines for Resident Evaluation and may jeopardize the
resident’s standing in the residency.
5. For the purposes of calculating percent attendance, eligible seminars (the
denominator) do not include lectures given during the following: internal medicine,
pediatrics, neurology, Butler Hospital PAS, and approved vacation, conference or sick
leave.
