  1. PRESENT Town Hall Meeting Podiatric Residency Shortage and The Future of Podiatric Residency Education Moderator Alan Sherman, DPM, CCMEP CEO and Co-Founder PRESENT e-Learning Systems

  2. Background • All aware – shortage of residency positions last 2 years • Supply <> Demand mismatch • Most here – fortunate, you matched and are set for your training • ~50-70 senior students just graduated, and graduated a year ago, not matched • Impacts all of us – reputation, public perception, new applicants to schools • Warranted a open meeting where all can speak their minds

  3. Goals • 1. Bring all up to speed on • What happened • Why it happened • What’s being done to help the current unmatched students and • Prevent the problem from compounding year after year • Polling • Find out what this group really thinks on a number of the key issues using Audience Response System • Largest gathering of the residency education community • 3. Recommendations • Recommend action steps to address 2 key separate issues: • How to best correct shortage of residency positions • How do we stop the problem from continuing to compound into the future

  4. Ground Rules • This program is being done as a service for our members by PRESENT e-Learning Systems • PRESENT is not an official spokesman for anyone or anything other than PRESENT • We run education programs and provide other services for the podiatric residency education community – this is another one • Facts and figures being presented are all from publically available documents published by entities such as CPME and APMA. References are given wherever possible. This Powerpoint file is being made available in it’s entirety on the RedEd Summit website, Town Hall Meeting page of the conference website: • http://bit.ly/13kqQaQ

  5. Ground Rules • Keep it constructive • No blaming • Assume everyone has acted in their view of the best interests of the profession • Acknowledge that even the best decisions can have unintended consequences • Everyone who wishes to speak will be given a chance to speak • To speak, use microphone in aisle

  6. POLL – Who is Here Today ? Are you a • Resident • Residency Director • Attending at a residency program • Non-residency affiliated DPM Response Counter

  7. Residency Shortage Issue – What Happened ?

  8. Residency Shortage Issue – What Happened ?New Standards - New version of CPME 320 Adopted October 2010 by Council on Podiatric Medical Education, went into effect July 1, 2011. establishing the PMSR standard The two-year conversion process to PMSR programs was completed this July. CPME adopted these standards after getting feedback from the profession… “The adoption of the documents marked the end of a two year revision process that solicited and responded to ongoing feedback from many in the CPME community of interest (residency programs, student and young member organizations, professional organizations, and podiatric physicians). The process was highlighted by six open forums, which were attended by more than 300 program directors, residency faculty, and other interested parties. The Council also received more than 150 written comments about the proposed document changes.” - CPME

  9. What changed with new standard ? • A single 3 year category – PMSR Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency (many 2 year programs became 3 year programs, some closed) • Requirement to pass part I and II of boards prior to beginning residency (Used to be ~10-12% failure rate. In 2013, failure rate was only 2.5% > more students eligible for residency training) • Compensation for program director (required funding from GME/hospital) • Option to grant RRA Reconstructive rearfoot and Ankle credential

  10. Unintended/Unexpected Consequences • Total enrollment of residents has increased – we have more podiatrists in residency training now than ever before • Ended up with a SUPPLY <> DEMAND mismatch – Not enough program positions http://www.aacpm.org/pdf/AACPM_Residency_Statement_Apr10_2013.pdf

  11. Residency Shortage By the Numbers • April 11, 2012 letter from AACPM entitled “The Residency Shortage: Continued Efforts to Find a Solution ” • Even with the opening of Western U and Midwestern U, the total number of graduates has not increased. • Graduating class size across all podiatry colleges 572 in 2013. It had been as high as 582 during the 90’s. • 572 graduates from podiatry colleges this year • 621 applicants for 1st year positions this year (50 carry over from 2012) • 525 positions available (100 shortage, now reduced to ~60) http://www.aacpm.org/pdf/AACPM_Residency_Statement_Apr10_2013.pdf

  12. CPME Residency Position Survey- Re-Assessment • June 2013 • 700 responses – students, residents, APMA HOD, private DPMs • Results reported Aug 5 -Supported by majority • No changes should be made to structure of residency training • CPME should not relax its requirements, eg. Resident stipend, surgical procedure minimum, program director compensation • Resulting action taken by CPME at it’s Aug 5 meeting • Request that Council’s Accred Committee consider reducing enrollment at schools • Ask schools to confirm that all prospective students be made aware of issue • Continue to support development of new programs and new positions This is now the official policy under which podiatric residency programs are being run http://www.apma.org/WorkingForYou/NewsDetail.cfm?ItemNumber=8517

  13. What Happened ? • CONCLUSION - The combination of an unusual high number of eligible students needing programs, and the reduction in positions by hospitals due to the move to the 3 year PMSR model…lead to the shortage this year. http://www.aacpm.org/pdf/AACPM_Residency_Statement_Apr10_2013.pdf

  14. The Solution – What’s Been Done and Still Being Done

  15. The Solution- Recent Report by APMA On August 1, 2013 meeting, APMA issued this update: • Of the 80 eligible students still seeking a residency position, 15-20 likely will be able to secure a position by this Fall • Since May 1, CPME has approved eight 1st year positions • CPME is evaluating 5 new programs with 7 positions that could be available by this Fall • 24 prospective new programs are working on applications, which could result in 75 positions for the 2014-2015 year • CPME has notified 77 eligible existing programs of the ability to add 114 new positions. Only 11 of those positions have been formally accepted. • They are…. http://www.apma.org/workingforyou/NewsDetail.cfm?ItemNumber=8490

  16. Institutions that have accepted CPME’s authorization to increase positions, effective July 1, 2013 • Community Westview Hospital, Indianapolis, IN, one PMSR/RRA position • DeKalb Medical Center, Decatur, GA, one PMSR/RRA position for 2013–2014 year only • Detroit Medical Center, Detroit, MI, one PMSR/RRA position • Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, Wyandotte, MI, one PMSR/RRA position • Kennedy University Hospital, Stratford, NJ, one PMSR/RRA position • Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, one PMSR position, effective July 1, 2014 • Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY, one PMSR/RRA position • Morristown Memorial Hospital, Morristown, NJ, one PMSR/RRA position, effective July 1, 2014 • New Mexico Veterans Affairs Health Care System and Kaiser Foundation Hospital, Albuquerque, NM and Sacramento, CA; one PMSR/RRA position • Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center, Loma Linda, CA, one PMSR/RRA position • Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, one PMSR/RRA position http://www.cpme.org/residencies/content.cfm?ItemNumber=6915&navItemNumber=7202

  17. CPME Announces 14 New First-Year Residency Positions in Progress On Aug 9, CPME announced Four new residency programs eligible for on-site evaluation: • Chino Valley Medical Center, Chino, CA (PMSR/RRA, 2/2/2 positions, scheduled for visit on August 23); • Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare, New Hartford, NY (PMSR/RRA, 1/1/1, visit TBD); • Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, Bennington, VT (PMSR/RRA, 2/2/2, visit TBD); and • St. Joseph Hospital, Bethpage, NY (PMSR, 1/1/1, PMSR/RRA, 1/1/1, visit TBD). Four new programs provisional approval for the 2013–2014 training year: • Tuscson Medical Center and Midwestern University Arizona School of Podiatric Medicine, Tucson, AZ (PMSR/RRA, 2/2/2); • Phoenixville Hospital, Phoenixville, PA (PMSR/RRA, 2/2/2); • OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, IL (PMSR/RRA, 2/2/2); and • Salem Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Salem, VA (PMSR, 1/1/1).

  18. Solutions Suggested for Residency Shortage Issue • Reduce enrollment or close college or two: this would not have any effect on the problem for four years from inception, but would help thereafter. In fact, we are not graduating more students today then we were during the 90s ( both about 582 vs 572, despite more schools) • Increase the number of residency positions. Many feel this is the best solutions, but it requires grassroots efforts in the practice community to bring cases and patients to hospitals which support residency education, ie. from surgery centers and offices.

  19. For Unmatched Graduating Students – practicing in a state that doesn’t require a residency for licensure is an option States that Don’t Require a Residency for Licensure • Connecticut • Hawaii • Kentucky • Ohio • Pennsylvania • Puerto Rico Two are even states with Podiatry Colleges. http://www.fpmb.org/compendium.asp Federation of Podiatric Medical Boards

  20. How is the Profession Responding ? • After a thorough review of the information that that I’ve gathered on the residency shortage issue, I’ve concluded: • The institutions in podiatry (CPME, AACPM, APMA) do ongoing surveillance of the supply <> demand issue in Residency Education • They were surprised that the factors in place, all contributed to a quickly rising shortage issue: the increased standards of the new CPME 320 (3 year programs, funding issues), the high pass rate on the national boards. • They have made, and continue to make, a strong and valiant effort to correct the problem • A lot depends now on new programs opening and existing programs agreeing to open new positions – will take another 1-2 years to resolve. http://www.aacpm.org/pdf/AACPM_Residency_Statement_Apr10_2013.pdf

  32. Survey done by PMNews

  33. What does this survey show ? • Aquarter of all podiatrists don’t do any bone surgery • Most consider between 1-25% percent of their practice to be bone surgery • Less than 9% consider bone surgery to be more than half of their practice Why are we training every podiatrist to be a comprehensive bone surgeon ? Many won’t be using most of the skills they spend so much time learning during residency.
