LSU PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Reminders:

Duty Hours

Please review your handbook for regulations concerning Duty Hours.  Duty Hour entry for each month is due the second Friday of the following month to ensure reports can be run and forwarded to the LSU GME office and Program Director to review for any violations. 
 

Evaluations
All evaluations are due no more than 2 weeks after completion of a given rotation.  Fax to the LSU office 568-6006 or give to the Program Manager at Ochsner.  Three evaluations per site are required-Faculty on Resident, Resident on Faculty and a 360 (can be completed by any ancillary staff or peer).  PGYIII doing 12 months consecutive outpt are required to submit their evaluations immediately prior to their 6 month summary meeting.  If you have a rotation that continues for 2 or more consecutive months (other than PGY III's) you only need one evaluation of each type for that rotation.  Evaluations are confidential and summaries only will be forwarded to the Program Director for review.
 

Core Modules
Core Modules are completed by accessing Residency Partner.  Each module is specific to your level and you must score at least 80% to "pass".  Any score below 80% requires retaking until you do score 80%.  You have the entire academic year to complete your modules.  If you do not complete, you will not promote or graduate.
 

Step III
It is a requirment of the program that each resident take/pass STEP III in order to promote to a PGY III.  You are allowed 2 educational leave days to take the exam.  Residents are required to take Step 3 no later than September of the PGY2 year.  If a resident fails the exam, the resident will be required to take a review course and retake the test by February.  If the resident fails again, individual tutoring will be arranged for the resident. If a resident does not pass prior to your PGY III year, the resident will not promote, be placed on leave, or dismissed from the program.
