Dear Residents/Fellows,
As we are beginning to see an increase in the number of cases of COVID-19 in the US, our Healthcare systems are implementing strategies to care for suspected and diagnosed cases of COVID-19. To prepare our residents to safely care for suspected and diagnosed cases, we have developed a plan for training residents on the front line of patient care in the screening of patients and the use of PPE. We are asking all residents to review the NETEC video on the proper use of PPE. Once you’ve watched this video, please attest that you’ve done this so we can monitor which residents have completed this portion of the education.
To enter your attestation of compliance,
- Log on to New Innovations
- Click on “Complete Advancement tasks” on your home screen (under CHECKLISTS on the top left corner of home screen)
- Follow instructions and complete checklist entitled: Attestation: COVID-19 PPE Training
- Complete the above by 3/10/2020if possible.
The GME office will run periodic reports to track completion.
