Residency Education Working Group
The broad charge is to develop and validate metrics for faculty efforts in clinical teaching and administration. These metrics will be used for several different purposes. One will be to determine the costs associated with the educational process. These costs will then be discussed jointly with data accumulated by UMC, UPH and other entities regarding their estimate of the costs. The combined data will then be used in complementary fashion to appropriately allocate the total resources within the system for teaching. This is very much in line with the conclusions from the recent retreat with UMC, UPH and the College of Medicine. The second major purpose for developing and validating incentives is to provide clear guidelines for residency and fellowship program directors.
Many schools have developed mission-based budgeting strategies which we can use as templates for discussion. We are under no obligation to adopt strategies that others have used, but at the same time, there is no need to start from scratch. One of the central conclusions from the UMC, UPH, COM board retreat was that financing education should be a test case for developing transparency between UMC, UPH and the College of Medicine. In additon, members of the Dean’s Cabinet have been charged with developing a strategic plan for the clinical efforts within the College of Medicine . Clearly the efforts of your committee will be intersecting with the strategic planning group and transparency in those processes is important.
