NCOPE Residency Program Development Course


Welcome to the NCOPE Residency Program Development Course. This online learning resource is designed to systematically guide you through the steps required for qualification as a residency program and to help you develop the most effective residency experience for new graduates.

This comprehensive course is organized into three sections:

Section One: Preparation to be a Residency Program

Section Two: Development of a Residency Program

Section Three: Assessment in the Residency Program (Coming Soon)

Each section contains a series of individual modules that provide specific information to help you prepare to become an accredited program, develop an effective clinical education program, and assess resident abilities and your program's effectiveness. Please click through the presentation at your own pace. There is no sound accompanying this course. Quizzes are embedded throughout the course to verify your understanding and facilitate earning ABC credits. We hope you find this online resource helpful in implementing and managing your residency program.
