Preparation and utilization of a site survey book.
This paper describes a tool, the site survey book, which can be used to rapidly and efficiently prepare for a site survey. The book is a framework that incorporates all of the special requirements for emergency medicine as listed in the Director of Residency Training Programs. This framework can easily be modified to meet the needs of individual programs, yet still adhere to the director guidelines. The site survey book is designed to be updated periodically, to reflect what is occurring in the program. The report can be used as a master guide, to plan changes in the curriculum, or to plan lectures. Furthermore, it provides a ready method of rapidly acquainting residency candidates with the structure of individual training programs during the interview process.
