Advisory Program
Early in the first year our residents choose a faculty advisor. The advisor plays an important role through residency providing academic support by reviewing rotation evaluations and study strategies, serving as a clinical coach and ensuring that short-and long-term study strategies are actionable and sustained.
Individualized Learning Plans (ILP)
At least annually Advisors also review residents' individualized learning plans (ILPs) and Career Action Plans, which include a review of career goals, a ranking of personal strengths and weaknesses, a self-rating in six core competencies and pediatric milestones, and the setting of learning goals and strategies for the year.
Advisors are our residents' champions, providing mentorship for life and career goals throughout and often beyond residency.
