However, milestones focusing on interpersonal skills can be challenging to teach, especially since each person comes from such different backgrounds and with a wide range of prior experiences. Heather Barnes, Director of Guest Experiences at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, will give a 2-hour session focusing on interactive methods for teaching fellows how to effectively communicate, resolve conflict and provide feedback. Session 2: Accreditation, Milestones, and Physician Wellness (3:30 pm 5:30 pm) Cheryl Gross from the ACGME will review recent changes in Cytopathology Fellowship specialty specific requirements as well as Common Program Requirements. She will also provide up to date information about the annual review process as well as the self study process. From resident work hour restrictions to organizational wellness initiatives, there is heightened recognition that physician burnout is a complex issue with no simple solutions. Dr. Hernandez, Medical Director and Chair of the Division of Laboratory Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Arizona and an Associate Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, will discuss the effects of physician burnout and some of the successful measures that could be implemented to help alleviate the problem.
