Postgraduate Report

Postgraduate Academic Program and QI/Research Coordinator

Assessments

With December holidays approaching, we wanted to take a moment to remind our preceptors and residents to complete their One45 to-do items. If you’ve forgotten your One45 password, click “Need help logging in?” on log-in page and enter your UWO email address. Check your UWO email for password reset instructions. If you cannot remember your UWO email password, follow the following steps to reset your @uwo.ca password:

  1. Call Western Technology Services (WTS) Helpdesk at 1-519-661- 3800
  2. Select option 1 for Western Staff/Faculty support
  3. Select option 2 for Computer Accounts Office
  4. The WTS Computer Accounts staff will ask for your Western employee number, date of birth, last 4 numbers of your Social Insurance Number (SIN), and/or your home address to verify your identity. This is important because this login gives an individual access to your Human Resources data
  5. Please have a computer handy, as they will ask you to access the Western Identity Manager webpage and will walk you through the next steps.

If you have not done so, we would recommend forwarding your @uwo email account to one that you regularly use. The instructions for that are available here: https://wts.uwo.ca/office_365/email/email.html

Resident Project

Find details of the forms, steps, and requirements for the resident project within the following link (under requirements): https://www.schulich.uwo.ca/familymedicine/postgraduate/current_residents/curriculum/academic_program/resident_project/index.html

There are many resources available to residents at Western: faculty advisors, staff at home centre, the project website (above), Librarian support (https://guides.lib.uwo.ca/schulichclinical), Writing Support Centre (www.sdc.uwo.ca/writing/), or even funding support through the Department Research Committee (details on project website). Project proposals are due at the end of PGY1 year and final projects are due no later than 2 months before residency end date. As a soft deadline, we encourage residents to send proposal/final writeups at the end of their FM core rotation. Please email fmpgc@schulich.uwo.ca with any project questions.

If you are completing a resident project, we ask that you submit a copy of your Ethics application to fmpgc@schulich.uwo.ca so that we can track your progress.
