Residents, Fellows, and Graduate Students
The resident, fellow, and graduate student monthly electronic newsletter highlights membership benefits, important dates, residency programs, individual PRNs, and answers to postgraduate trainee questions. You can preview the newsletter at www.accp.com/resfel/newsletter.aspx.
Postgraduate trainees will increase their presence on social media through #ACCPpostgrads.
The ACCP Mentoring Program allows all postgraduate trainee members of ACCP to search for and select a mentor from the College’s database of ACCP volunteer members. Once trainees have selected a mentor, they are encouraged to correspond with their mentor at least monthly throughout their training year. ACCP supports mentors and mentees with monthly e-mails of potential topics for discussion. Opportunities and resources offered by ACCP are also included in the monthly correspondence. Sixty-one mentor-mentee matches were made through the 2015–2016 program.
ACCP will continue to offer resident-specific educational programming at the 2016 Annual Meeting. Chart the Course of Your Professional Future is designed to provide residents with vital career development skills and a foundation in navigating their professional future. Led by nationally recognized faculty, this premeeting symposium will include topics such as facilitating professional development, managing conflict, planning for financial freedom, taking a scholarly approach to clinical practice, and developing a personal strategic plan.
In addition to ACCP’s long-standing Career Path Roundtable Session, ACCP will offer the Professional Development Roundtable Session exclusively for new practitioners. This session will focus on topics that guide early practitioners through several career transitions, including interviewing, negotiating, precepting, achieving balance, obtaining board certification, seeking out administrative roles, and planning for continuous professional development.
Postgraduate trainees will also have access to two live webinars each year to supplement their training.
The 2016–2017 Resident Advisory Committee has been appointed. The committee will be chaired by Erin McCreary and cochaired by Brandon Martinez. Members-at-large serving on the committee include Sara Alosaimy, Anna Bondar, Megan Carr, Nicholas Cox, Oksana Kucher, Wesley Kucher, Krutika Mediwala, Vy Nguyen, Klayton Ryman, Adrian Wong, and Kimberly Zitko.
