The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires that the following groups of residents use their system, the ACGME General Surgery Resident Case Log System, for tracking your operative experience:
Per the ACGME “The resident experience log is an Internet based case log system utilizing CPT codes or ICD- 9-CM codes (ICD-9) to track resident experience. The Residency Review Committees have indexed these codes into categories for evaluation. Any valid CPT or ICD-9 code can be entered in the application but only those codes the RRC has selected will be evaluated for experience. This application was designed to allow residents to enter procedures on a regular basis at their convenience. Entry can be done from any PC connected to the Internet. The site is secured by encryption certificate obtained through the VeriSign Corporation.”
Your operative log will be monitored by the Program Director, Dr. Chipman, and the Surgical Education Council and it is reviewed with you at your biannual evaluation meetings.
