Introduction
The training of house officers is an essential component of medical programs. During
this year, medical graduates are expected to use the knowledge and skills, which they
learned in their 6-year curriculum, in real clinical situations, under guidance of their
supervisors. Because of the pivotal role of this year in shaping the medical career, the
Egyptian Medical Board is releasing this House Officer Logbook which includes the 4
essential rounds: Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics&
Gynecology. In each round, the minimum training requirements are specified.
The other rounds included in this logbook is prepared by the Mansoura university
hospitals’ training program director.
In this logbook, the training requirements are divided into 3 categories which differ as
regards methods of training and evaluation:
2. Practical, or manual procedures: refer to the manual skills which are necessary to
the practicing physician; such as, venipuncture, wound dressing, stitching wounds.
Obviously, there are requirements that are practiced in almost all the rotations, which
are the general manual procedures and the communication skills. To avoid
unnecessary repetition, those common requirements are listed separately before
detailing each rotation.
Each trainee is expected to use this Logbook, on a daily basis, for recording his/her
clinical experience during each round. Each activity should be evaluated and endorsed
by the attending supervisor.
In the near future, submitting the completed Logbook will be one of the requirements
for licensing medical graduates. Until then, this logbook will serve as a guide to
medical schools to implement structured training programs in the house officer’s year,
and to establish the managerial and administrative support for carrying out those
programs.
It is noteworthy that this first version of the Logbook will be reviewed again during its
actual implementation in view of the feedback of trainees, trainers, and programs
directors. Therefore, medical schools are requested to collect such feedback and send
it to the Board.
The main goal of this Logbook is to ensure a minimum level of standardized training
and continuous in-service formative evaluation to all medical graduates in Egypt
during the house officer training year.
2. A list of general manual skills, and the communication skills which are
commonly practiced in all rotations.
2- Make the required entries and seek evaluation andsignature of the supervisor
in the same day of the event.
4- Identify the required level of competence for each manual procedure, listed in
each section, by carefully reading the related statements. Those which start by
a verb that describes a real like “perform”, “do” or “insert”; should be
repeatedly practiced to reach mastery level. Statements which start by verbs
like “observe”, “witness”, or “assist” refer to procedures that the trainee is
required to achieve only level 1 or level 2 respectively .
5- Make use of the given feedback to improve their clinical competencies, manual
procedures, and communication skills.
1- Carefully observe the performance of the trainees and point out the
deficiencies; if any, in order to be corrected.
2- Sign the activities done or attended by the trainees in the same day of
performance as possible.
4- Observe their progression along the competency scale in acquiring the manual
skills: observing (1), assisting (2), doing under supervision (3), doing
independently (4).
The common training requirements
These requirements are not limited to a certain discipline, and can be performed in all
rotations. Each trainee is responsible for distributing those skills throughout the whole
training year, and is encouraged to repeatedly practice them in all rotations in order to
ensure mastery in various contexts, with different age groups, and in both sexes.
