Video Summary
In the recent Program Directors Network update meeting involving representatives from AUGS, ABOG, and ACGME, several key updates and developments were shared. The agenda included updates from the PFD meeting, ACGME, safe examinations, and ABOG.<br /><br />ACGME provided insights on their committee structure and accreditation updates, emphasizing the need for institutions to maintain compliance with procedural requirements, particularly regarding urogynecological programs. They confirmed the new minimums for certain procedures, effective for 2025 graduates. The importance of addressing low ratings from surveys and compliance with new supervision policies was highlighted. A flexible procedure experience pilot was introduced, allowing flexibility in procedural training for those entering specific subspecialties.<br /><br />The safe examination data showed increasing participation and confidence in its relevance as a learning tool. Concerns were raised about the impact of exam results on fellow promotions, stressing its role as an educational rather than high-stakes exam. The proposed exam dates were shared to aid in scheduling.<br /><br />ABOG's presentation covered their roles in setting certification standards and developing exams. Updates on demographics, certification pass rates, and program director report summaries were discussed. They are transitioning thesis requirements, suggesting a pre-graduation submission process to ease the burden at the examination phase, with rigorous but manageable external reviews. A fellowship portal launch in January 2024 is set to streamline these processes, including attestations and case uploads. The session concluded with a Q&A addressing various practical aspects and timelines for these changes.<br /><br />Overall, the sessions aimed at improving educational and assessment frameworks, focusing on maintaining rigorous standards while easing administrative burdens for program directors.
