The PGY column indicates the Post-Graduate Year in which the corresponding module should be taken.  ALL modules for a given House Officer’s PGY must be completed before the House Officer will be allowed to graduate or advance to the next year.  Additionally, House Officers in any PGY other than 1 will be required to complete all modules up to and including the modules for their current PGY (a HO2 must complete all 1 and 2 modules, and fellows must complete all modules).  Step by step instructions are available here.  Additionally, for simplicity, the corresponding PGY for each module has been appended to the module names within Residency Partner (e.g. Competencies Overview (1)).  

The modules have been designed to be each completed in approximately 5 to 10 minutes.  They consist of a presentation of several slides (attached to the module in PDF format), in addition to a short (1 to 5 question) test.  The presentation should be viewed before taking the test.  In the event that a House Officer does not score at least 80% on any assigned module, that module must be retaken until at least 80% is achieved. 

Reports will be run every few months and delivered to Residency and Fellowship Program Coordinators indicating the progress of the program’s House Officers.
