Attributes of a Professional Applicant Survey Results
Extremely organized program coordinators who were informed about the program were the most helpful.
One could really tell that the coordinators really cared about the program and the prospective candidates. It was not just a job responsibility. This has a very positive effect on the interviewees.
![Page 26: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

I remember calling one program coordinator to verify the time I was to be there, and she said, “well, didn’t you get the email?” I had, in fact, received the email but I was just making sure I understood correctly.
![Page 27: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Attributes of a Professional Applicant Survey Results
At a few places, the coordinator did not communicate a change in the schedules for the interview day that was sent out prior to the visit. This was particularly distressing for applicants who had made travel plans based on the original itinerary.
![Page 28: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Attributes of a Professional Applicant Survey Results
Nine of the coordinators were excellent – professional, provided useful information, organized, responded in a timely manner to inquiries. The rest were awful in those respects.
![Page 29: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

. . . if program directors and chairmen knew people were being turned off to their programs based on the poorly executed duties of the coordinator, they would probably be adamant about some sort of remediation.
![Page 30: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Attributes of a Professional Applicant Survey Results
The interview day is the coordinator’s audition, as well. If that person can’t manage to put the program’s best foot forward when it is absolutely mandatory, one can only imagine what life will be like to deal with this person day to day. It truly does affect one’s impression of a program.
![Page 31: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Attributes of a Professional Applicant Survey Results
There is one program I will not be ranking, because of the way they presented themselves on interview day. The program coordinator did a good job in general, but the way the day was set up was strange.
![Page 32: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Worst Interview Scenario – 30-40 applicants stuck in a very small
room from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM First interview is at 7:00 AM; no
interview for another 2-3 hours No food or beverage provided
throughout the day Applicants leave out of disgust

Program coordinators are the glue that hold the entire chaotic interview season together. They are generally overworked and under-appreciated. For all those that haven’t heard it enough lately … THANK YOU!
![Page 34: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is the Basis for Success for the Program Coordinator?
• How the program director views the position
• How much credibility the coordinator has with the residents
![Page 35: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Program Director…
Must see the position of coordinator as a mid-level manager and must value the skills, knowledge, abilities and opinions of the coordinator.
Will then support the coordinator’s activities
The residents will see the coordinator as an extension of the program director.
![Page 36: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
This is a powerful perception.
It promotes adherence to compliance issues.
![Page 37: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Residents…..
Must see the coordinator as an advocate and resource for
them someone who has earned their
respect someone who is professionally
responsible
![Page 38: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
This is a powerful perception.
It promotes the well-being andsuccess of the resident.
![Page 39: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The resident will then supportthe efforts of the coordinator on their behalf to meetprogram requirements.
![Page 40: Program Coordinators – Professional and Successful](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815df2550346895dcc24c7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
When both of these perceptions come together, the coordinator isgiven the opportunity to be anactive, productive participant,involved in achieving all the goalsand objectives of the trainingprogram.
