Additional Information We strive to stay on the forward leaning edge of medical education Charter program of the 10 year ACGME Educational Innovation Project, 2006-16 EIP goal was to find better ways to train residents and care for patients Programs included Ohio State, Cincinnati, UPMC, Indiana U, Duke, Mayo Clinic-Rochester, UC San Francisco & others EIP provided a testing ground for some revisions in ACGME Program Requirements

Summa EIP Our focus was on Patient and Resident Safety Quality Improvement Team-based approach to care

Future Directions In 2020-21 we allowed 10 PGY 1s (IM & Transitional) to start in May or early June; in 2021-22 and 2022-23 we allowed 5 PGY 1s to start on June 1 Goal was to improve transition to residency – this was NOT implemented to provide more care for COVID patients Subjectively results and resident perceptions have been very positive Anticipate making this available again for 2023-24
