Case Log Policy

Department of Anesthesiology

University of Texas Medical Branch

Residents are expected to log cases into the ACGME Data Collection System daily.  Case logs should be complete and include ALL required descriptors.  To complete these duties, residents are given a computer and training for the AGGME Data Collection System at the beginning of residency.

Case logs will be spot checked throughout the month and reviewed at the end of each month. Residents who are not up-to-date on spot check will be notified by email. At the end of the month, any residents with logs either not up-to-date or insufficient in number will be given an unsatisfactory for the month.  Residents who are unsatisfactory will be notified at the end of the month.

Any resident who has insufficient patient care experience as documented in the ACGME Data Collection System may be required to repeat that month of training.  The clinical competency committee (CCC) will review resident’s compliance with this policy every six months. 

Residents with repeated noncompliance will be evaluated by the CCC and may be reported to the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) as unprofessional for the six month grading period. Note: Residents who receive an unsatisfactory in professionalism for two 6-month grading periods are required by the ABA to repeat 6-months of training.  In this case, the resident contract may not be renewed.
