The following statements describe the graduates of MMC GPR programs. They
are intended to communicate the expectations of the faculty to the resident
and serve as a basis for evaluation of resident’s satisfactory completion
of the program.
In order to facilitate reading this list of statements, certain terms have
bee predefined so they could be used in the manual without repetitive
definition. These definitions are listed in the next section of this manual.
In general, the definitions proposed by Chambers and Gerrow have been followed,
although some new definitions have been added and some definitions modified.
In situations where it is expected that the GPR program graduate will
be able to, and likely to, actually perform the necessary procedures,
the terms “perform”, “provide”. “restore”,
or “treat” have been used. In circumstances where the graduate
may perform some treatment but is more likely to oversee treatment or
refer, the term “manage” is used.
The term “appropriate” is not used in these statements to eliminate
repetitive verbiage. It is assumed that all knowledge, skills, and procedures
described will be performed for appropriate reasons, in appropriate circumstances
and in an appropriate manner.
In this manual each statement is designated as either an area of competency
( C ) in which graduates are expected to have little experience at the
beginning of their programs, or as an area of proficiency ( P ) in which
graduates are expected to be competent at the beginning of their programs
and gain further experience, skill and judgment as the program progresses.
