Resident/Fellow Survey
What do programs need to do?
In preparation for the Resident Survey, ALL PROGRAMS should comply with #1 below.
- Check the listing of your residents in the Accreditation Data System (ADS). Please make sure:
- all are listed in ADS.
- all are listed with their correct statuses (active full time, etc. )
- all their birthdates and first and last names are entered correctly.
When your program is required to complete the survey, the ACGME will notify you directly. Your notification will include detailed instructions, including how residents and fellows should log in to the survey and a completion date deadline. To comply with this requirement, please do the following.
- Inform your residents about the survey. Please tell them :
- they will log into the password-protected site at https://www.acgme.org/surveys. Or, they may access the survey through the ACGME's website, under the Data Collection Systems navigation bar.
- they will use the program's 10-digit number as their initial User ID.
- their initial passwords will be their DOB, plus the last 2 characters of their last name.
- surveys need to be completed by the completion date given in your notification. Residents/fellows will have approximately 4 weeks to complete the survey.
- they may make changes (additions or corrections) to the survey anytime prior to the completion date. After this due date, access to the survey will be denied.
- all responses will remain confidential. No individual data will ever be shared with the program.
- in order to protect their data, residents will be required to change their initial user id and password.
- Monitor your residents' compliance with the survey.
- Check the percentage of your residents that have completed the survey. This number will be listed near the top of your ADS Main Page. A 70% response rate is required for programs with 4 or more residents/fellows; programs with fewer than 4 residents should obtain a 70% response rate.
- You may access a list of those who have not yet completed the survey from within your ADS account.
- Review the summary data (the Program Director's Survey Report in ADS) from your program. These data will be available to the surveyor for your next site visit, and will be made available to your RC.
- Summary data will be available if at least 70% of residents in programs with 4 or more residents/fellows complete the survey.
- Programs are NOT required to send the Resident Survey report to site visitors, nor to the RC.
- Programs with fewer than 4 residents will not see aggregate reports during 2008.
