Dear Clinical Faculty,
The Program is in the process of updating our STACER Examiner list for all tracks across the province.
As many of you are aware, the Royal College requires that the PGY4/5s successfully complete 2 STACERs (Structured Assessments of Clinical Evaluation Report) which include a 50 minute psychiatric assessment, presentation of the case, formulation, differential diagnosis and management plan, followed by examiners’ questions on the case.
Some of you have been and are already involved in this PGY4/5 examination process and I wanted to thank you for your commitment to medical education. Could you please complete the extremely short survey via the link below to indicate your interest in current and future involvement as we would like to ensure that our list is up to date.
The Royal College is now stipulating that a STACER also be completed for the PGY2 year (to determine if they have met competency to progress to PGY3). For the PGY2 STACER, I would encourage those that are already PGY2 supervisors to sign up as you have the best understanding of when a PGY2 residents is ready for promotion. The forms we are utilizing are the same Monthly Interview Evaluation forms that you are already familiar with.
I am asking for those faculty that are interested in participating in either the PGY2 or the PGY4/5 exam process to fill out the same survey and indicate the year(s) you are willing to examine.
Given that some tracks across the province are more short staffed, and given that we are now able to do these exams virtually, I am requesting that those who are interested in being on a provincial virtual STACER examiner list also please tick that box in the survey.
