Abstract:
Purpose: To clarify the awareness of residency program coordinators on their roles and attributes. Methods: We asked residency program coordinator’s to describe their perception of “roles” and “attributes” that they consider important, We then, qualitatively and semi-quantitatively analyzed the data. Results: Administrative work, public relations activities, coordination, pastoral and educational roles such as mental support, life support, and social education for trainees were extracted as the roles they identified. Regarding the attributes, humanity, the improvement of the quality of work, and various attributes for human resource development were extracted such as counselors, communication, harmonious human relationship, trainee-centeredness and educational mindset. Discussion: The residency program coordinators perceived the importance of their “roles” and “attributes” for the development of trainees. Our results may be able to contribute to the development of current and future coordinators.
