Dear Fellows:

Please make sure to complete this logbook as requested and to have Supervisor sign for the skills you have acquired, as this logbook will be collected, checked and evaluated by us.

We are always grateful for constructive feedback to help us improve these logbooks and our teaching goals and would therefore be grateful if you could complete the evaluation at the end.

Thank you

 

Dr. Khalid Mahmud Shah

President, PASSS.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS LOGBOOK:

The logbook is designed for carrying it with you and enables you to continuously document your progress. It is divided into a general and a specialized sections.

Please evaluate your skills at the beginning of the fellowship and fill in the corresponding column (see general section: defining the levels of competence). At the end of your fellowship you need to achieve 70% of the total score.

SUPERVISOR:

On your first working day one of the consultants will be allocated to you as your personal mentor for the duration of the fellowship. His responsibility will be to support your training and document on this logbook. He should enable you to achieve the required learning objectives and be accessible for your questions and problems during your fellowship. Once every two months there should be a feedback discussion with your mentor.

GENERAL SECTION

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES AND EXPERTISES
 
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

  • To develop the ability to independently care for individual patients under the supervision of consultant.
  • To show accountability to patients and colleagues.
  • To develop practical skills in the context of the relevant theoretical knowledge.
  • To further develop communicative, social and emotional skills.
  • To integrate relevant differential diagnoses in your daily routine.
  • To develop problem-oriented approaches.
  • To learn to establish a clinically founded working diagnosis.
  • To independently establish an appropriate treatment plan

PERSONAL OBJECTIVES:
 

Please define your personal educational objectives in the following table:

   
Personal Objectives Achieved
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

DEFINING THE LEVELS OF COMPETENCE:

The Varying levels of competence are defined as follows:

Level 1: Factual knowledge (1 point)

The fellow has theoretical knowledge relevant to the surgical procedure.

Level 2: Practical Knowledge (2 points)

The fellow has seen the surgical procedure being done, either on a patient or during a demonstration. He or she should be able to elaborate on some facts concerning this procedure and be able to place it into its clinical and/or scientific context.

Level 3: Competence to act under supervision (3 points)

The fellow has completed the procedure him/herself under supervision, either on a patient or in a simulation on a model.

Level 4: Competence to act autonomously (4 points)

The fellow has competed the surgical procedure independently and in an appropriate situation, with appropriate knowledge of the indication(s) and possible complications/consequences.

In this context please note that the levels of competence in the right column admittedly are meant as objective targets, but we regrettably cannot ensure you to achieve the target in every single expertise because of that you get the acknowledgement of successfully concluding your fellowship by achieving ≥ 70% of the target score.

How to use this form:      
       
DOP’s are used to facilitate developmental feedback during routine surgical practice in wards, outpatient clinics or operating theatre. This is a criterion-based tool to determine competence and facilitate appropriate feedback.
Fellows are encouraged to choose a different assessor for each assessment, but one of the assessors must be the current assigned educational supervisor. Most assessment take 15-20 minutes to complete including feedback.
Multiple scores of “Borderline” or a single score of “Below Expectation” indicates a need for significant improvement in performance. Fellow should be counseled and given opportunity to improve in the relevant skills before being reassessed. This process may be repeated until significant improvement is demonstrated.
       
Instruction for fellow:      
       
Choose a major case in your repertoire that you are going to carry out with a consultant.
Speak to the consultant and make sure that the consultant is available.
Make sure the consultant/supervisor is happy to do the case with you and complete the forms appropriately.
Speak to the consultant regarding feedback about how you might improve on any deficiencies noted.
The fellow should keep a copy of this evidence in their portfolio.
