Milestones & Evaluations
Each Fellow is to follow a range of Fellowship-wide standards, each of which is associated with milestones that Fellows will hit throughout their Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism Fellowship with Upstate Medical University.
The ACGME Internal Medicine Subspecialty Reporting Milestones are a measurement of the fellows' progress in the 6 core competencies. This is determined by various forms of evaluations including: faculty evaluations, nurse evaluations, administrative evaluations, patient evaluations, procedural evaluations, research evaluations, and evaluations of conference presentations. All of these evaluations, except for patient evaluations, are delivered and completed through MedHub. The MedHub system is a secure web-based Residency Management platform utilized for the administration of the fellowship program at Upstate. As a fellow, you will use MedHub for evaluations, logging in duty hours, logging in procedures, accessing presentations, etc.
The evaluations are compiled semi-annually and annually for the review of the Clinical Competency Sub-Committees. The Clinical Competency Sub-Committees is composed of the Program Director, Associate Program Director, Endocrinology faculty members, and the Program Administrator. The committee reviews the fellow’s progress in each of the Internal Medicine Subspecialty Reporting Milestones. The results of the Clinical Competency Sub-Committees are communicated and discussed fully to each fellow by the Program Director at their semi-annual and annual reviews.
Fellows are also evaluated by direct observation, daily training, and correction as needed that occurs in the clinical setting under the close supervision of, and interaction with the attending. Fellows are given the opportunity to evaluate the faculty and the program annually.
