Resident case logs will be audited by the residency program directors and administrators.  All residents will be scheduled for an audit at least once per year.  Residents may be asked to provide anesthesia records of their cases.

Documentation:  Pertinent anesthesia technique, procedures, patient age, surgical procedure in accordance with those listed as ACGME requirements.

Procedure

2. The residents must submit a copy of the requested Residency Case Log and a set of the substantiating documentation to the Residency Coordinator by the 10^th day of the month.
3. The documentation will be compared to Department information.
4. Discrepancies will be discussed with the resident. 
5. The Program Director may request that a resident be audited monthly until there is sufficient proof that Case Logs are accurate.
6. Failure by the resident to provide substantiating or accurate documentation may be cause for discipline by the Clinical Competence Committee.
