Dear Aultman Community,
We are once again pleased to report the activities of the Department of Medical Education.
I am proud of the efforts on the part of Graduate Medical Education, Undergraduate Medical
Education and pipeline programs to advance our mission: “Educating today’s physicians
through lifelong learning for the challenges of tomorrow.”
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has developed new
requirements intended to assure that quality in clinical performance, communication
skills, performance improvement and professionalism are being taught and outcomes
are measured in all of our programs. Our program faculties have successfully addressed
curriculum issues and practice measurements while continually assuring a supportive
clinical learning environment.
The ACGME has also recognized the increase in physician burnout that reaches down to
the resident and medical student levels. Our programs have responded to the reality of
professional burnout through changes in the curriculum, education regarding burnout, and
communication of resources to assist those personally in need.
I hope that you will take a few minutes to become acquainted with the accomplishments of
each of our programs at all levels of education. We recognize that all of you have contributed
to the success of these programs and acknowledge the contributions that these learners
currently make to our community. We know they will continue to do so as providers on our
Medical Staff in the future—and for that we express our ongoing gratitude!
Sincerely,
Susan Mercer, MD
Vice President of Medical Affairs
Medical Education and Research
DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION
Aultman’s Department of Medical Education structures rotations and learning opportunities for medical students
along with residents and medical staff physicians. Aultman is affiliated with Northeast Ohio Medical University
(NEOMED) and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM). We also offer rotations, based on availability, to
international medical students from ROSS, SABA and American University of the Caribbean.
UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION
The department contributes to NEOMED in all four years of medical school training, starting with Introduction to
Clinical Medicine (ICM) in the first and second years (M1 and M2). Dr. Brophy supervised the teaching of history-
taking and physical examination for 24 M1’s and 24 M2’s this year from August through May.
Aultman offered four core clerkships in the third year (M3’s) under the leadership of clerkship directors. These include
Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology and Surgery. Fourth year medical students (M4’s) choose
senior electives. Table 1 indicates the number of students who have had clinical experiences at Aultman Hospital in
the last 3 years.

THE CANTON CONNECTION
The Canton Connection is a program which is sponsored by the Aultman Medical Education Department. Medical
students from the greater Canton area, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, are invited to meet
throughout the year with the faculty and physicians from Aultman Hospital. These meetings offer an opportunity for
students to network, build relationships, and understand more about the various aspects of the medical field from
the perspective of experienced area physicians. These meetings are intended to assist students as they prepare for
their careers in medicine. This year, the meetings focused on transitioning from undergraduate to medical school, and
from medical school to residency.
In summary, our goal is to develop future doctors who will ultimately contribute to the medical staff and the community, and to inspire all students towards lifelong learning.
GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION: 2016-2017
Upon completion of medical school training, each student enters into post-graduate training in the specialty of his/
her choice through residency training. Aultman Hospital offers residencies in family medicine, internal medicine,
obstetrics/gynecology and radiology. It also sponsors a cardiovascular fellowship program. These specialty-training
programs bring physicians with the most current medical knowledge into our patient-care teams.
Of Aultman’s 2017 graduating residents/fellows:
30 residents/fellows graduated, having successfully accomplished all required competencies
12 graduates were accepted into fellowship training
8 graduates are employed as hospitalists
9 graduates entered a group/private practice
2 graduates stayed in the area: one joining a practice and the other becoming a hospitalist with Aultman
Residency/fellowship programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
In July 2016, the ACGME conducted a site visit for the Cardiovascular fellowship program. The program received
“Continued Accreditation,” its first full accreditation since the inception of the program. The status of “Continued
Accreditation” is also maintained by all residency programs.
Graduate medical education has made great advances in support of resident/fellow research. A website has been
designed to assist individuals who are interested in conducting research projects. The site itemizes how to proceed
with a project for approval by the Human Research Review Board, the oversight body. Additional resources are
available for our residents and fellows including statistical support and lectures on research projects. A statistical
software program, SPSS Statistics, was “implemented,” thus providing an additional tool to assist the residents and
fellows.
On March 8, 2017, Medical Education sponsored the faculty development conference “Making Your Feedback
Matter: Techniques and Tips for the Medical Educator.” We sponsor programs annually which contribute to a quality
educational experience for our residents and fellows. This was attended by 46 faculty and residents.

FACULTY HONORS IN 2016-2017 ACADEMIC YEAR
NEOMED’s Commencement Class of 2017 was held on May 20, 2017.
The class chose the following Aultman faculty member to present hoods to graduates:
Daniel Wasdahl, M.D. - Pathology
FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY TRAINING: BUILDING THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY
The Aultman Family Medicine Residency Program,
affiliated with Northeastern Ohio Medical University
(NEOMED), offers a comprehensive education in
Family Medicine emphasizing the management
and treatment of patients of all ages who present
to our clinical practices. A whole person approach
is emphasized with the incorporation of patient
and family values into our ongoing assessment
and treatment plans. Our curriculum is designed to
develop our residents’ expertise in the care of our
patients through health promotion, office procedures
and behavioral aspects of care, as well as the
treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in several
health care settings. Residents manage patients in
a wide variety of settings, including the hospital,
emergency department, nursing home, the patient’s
home and outpatient settings. After an emphasis
on inpatient care in the first year of the program,
residents transition to a predominantly outpatient-
oriented experience in the third year with increasing
responsibility of care of their patient panels. Continuity
of care and behavioral medicine in our patient
population are stressed in the Family Medicine Center.
Our Family Medicine Residency Program is accredited
by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical
Education (ACGME) with our most recent site visit in
December 2011. We were notified in May 2012 that we
received the maximum accreditation of five years. The
ACGME has since transitioned to a new accreditation
system, Next Accreditation System (NAS), and our
program’s accreditation site visit has been replaced with
a Self-Study Visit which is scheduled for May 1, 2022.
Ongoing data submission is required.
Family Medicine residents and faculty are actively
involved in the Stark County Health Department
Reproductive Health & Wellness Clinic, the Hartville
Migrant Clinic, and Planned Parenthood Stark County
Office. We encourage ongoing QI projects and
research areas for all of our residents. The residents
and faculty recently completed a hypertension quality
improvement project.
On June 23, 2017, the Family Medicine Residency
Program celebrated the graduation of eight more
residents. This brings the total number of graduates to
240. Two of the graduates from this year are practicing
in Canton, OH. One entered private practice and
another resident joined the Aultman Hospitalist Group.
The Aultman Family Medicine Residency Program’s
mission is to promote an environment of intellectual
curiosity that produces exceptional family physicians
who provide comprehensive, evidence-based,
compassionate patient-centered care. The Canton
office is currently working to become a Federally
Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and currently functions
as a Patient-Centered Medical Home.
At the 28th Annual Resident Research Day, Drs.
Syed Zain Ali and Emmanuel Otomewo received
first place for their poster presentation “Code
Status Documentation QI” and Dr. Gaymes received
second place for her poster presentation “Pharmacy
Medication Reconciliation Visits in the Primary Care
Setting.” Dr. Kriti Arora received second place for
her oral presentation “Increasing Compliance with
Postpartum Follow-up for Gestational Diabetes.” Dr.
Arora also received the Peer Choice award for her
oral presentation.

INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENCY
Canton Medical Education Foundation (CMEF)
Internal Medicine Residency Program is committed
to developing internists who are well-prepared to
join practice or fellowship after training. Many of our
graduates join hospitalist medicine or primary care
practices in the Canton hospitals and surrounding
communities. Others have continued training in
a medicine subspecialty fellowship. Of our 2017
graduates, three are receiving further training in
Nephrology and one in Palliative Care & Hospice
Medicine. We continue to provide a community-
based training experience that is both rigorous and
patient-centered, while maintaining a welcoming
learning environment.
To begin the academic year, our program was one
of the first in the country to experience the newest
process for accreditation of training programs, the
Next Accreditation System (NAS). Volunteering as a
site for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education’s (ACGME) Pilot Self-Study, we underwent
a review of our internal quality improvement work and
learning environment. It was an honor to be selected
to participate in the development of this process
which is now being applied to all residencies across
the nation.
One hundred percent of our current core faculty
have graduated from NEOMED’s Fellowship in
Academic Medicine (FAME) program. We are
increasing our footprint at NEOMED and are enjoying
productivity in scholarly activity. Drs. Kevin Frey
and Aarthi Rajkumar were named to the Master
Teacher’s Guild this year. Dr. Frey has collaborated
with NEOMED’s Assistant Dean for Students, Dr.
Paul Lecat, to bring an innovative physical diagnosis
curriculum to Canton. Both Drs. Rajkumar and Frey
have successfully mentored residents to publish their
work in peer-reviewed journals. Drs. Bolyard and
Narayanan were invited to teach a workshop about
their Business in Medicine outpatient curriculum
pilot study, “CMEF Mini-MIPS,” at the Alliance
for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM) Skills and
Leadership Conference this fall.
Looking ahead, we are growing our Business in
Medicine “CMEF Mini-MIPS” project in the next
academic year. After conducting the successful
pilot, our Quality Chief Residents are helping lead
an expanded program to teach residents about the
reality of pay-for-performance, while targeting more
clinical outcomes improvement measures in our
ambulatory settings.
RADIOLOGY
The Aultman Radiology Residency is an integrated
program with Mercy Medical Center and is a four-year
program with four residents in each postgraduate
year. Residents spend four rotations at Akron
Children’s Hospital and attend year long lecture
series. Residents enter after having trained one year
in a rotating general medicine internship such as a
Transitional Year Residency.
The twelve milestones with outcome measures
composed by the Accreditation Council of Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME) have been incorporated
into the residency curriculum. The milestones ensure
residents achieve competency in the six designated
areas of Medical Knowledge, Professionalism, Patient
Care, Interpersonal Communication, Practice-based
Learning and System-based Practice.
A formalized two-year lecture series in the ten
subspecialty areas of Radiology, in compliance with
RRC requirements, is provided for the residents. In
addition to the formalized lecture series, a business
module consisting of six lectures are provided to the
residents. Subscriptions to STAT DX and RADPRIMER,
web-based programs, provide the residents the
opportunity to review films and provide the staff
the means of “testing” the residents’ progress. The
residency program also subscribes to E-Anatomy, a
web-based program to aid residents in their education.
Radiology residents attend the Radiologic-Pathology
Correlation Course (AIRP) sponsored by the American
College of Radiology (ACR). The Radiology residents
are spending two weeks at Cleveland Clinic Foundation
in Cleveland to provide them with the exposure to
more cardiac procedures and exams. The Radiology
residents are also spending two weeks at Aultman
Maternal-Fetal Medicine to provide them with
the exposure to more second and third trimester
ultrasound and high-risk obstetric patients. A Radiology
resident, who has matched to an Interventional
Radiology fellowship, will be rotating in Vascular
Surgery for four weeks.
The program has applied for an ESIR program, a
dedicated program within the diagnostic radiology
residency which specializes in interventional
radiology preparation.
Beginning July 1, 2017, a web-based program, New
Innovations, is being utilized to track conference
attendance, duty hour compliance, rotation evaluations,
resident portfolio, faculty and resident evaluation,
resident self-assessment and milestone mapping.
The resident involvement in scholarly activities
continues to progress. There were five poster
presentations at the 28th Annual Aultman Research
Day. Radiology residents have also made three
presentations nationally.
Radiology residents continue to excel. Dr. Mohammad
Gharavi was awarded the Annual RSNA Research
Award. Dr. Sunpreet Tandon was also awarded the
Radiology Resident of the Year Award. Graduating
residents went to Massachusetts General Hospital,
Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA for an
Interventional Radiology Fellowship; University of
Maryland, Baltimore, MD, for a Neuroradiology
fellowship; Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
for a Body Imaging Fellowship; and Aultman Hospital,
Canton, OH for a Breast Imaging Fellowship.
Faculty are recognized for their commitment to
teaching, and the following were named Teacher of the
Year: Dr. Michael Markovic - Aultman; Dr. Pratish Shah
– Mercy; and Dr. Shankar Ganapathy – Akron Children’s
Medical Center. Andrew Congdon, RRA, Aultman,
was awarded the Resident Appreciation Award for
Ancillary Staff.

OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
Our obstetrics and gynecology residency at Aultman is proud to have been accredited to train physicians in
women’s health since 1946. Over the past seventy-one years, we have created a tradition of embedding learners in
an environment of scholarly and clinical excellence. We strive to train physicians of the future, while honoring the
traditions of sharing knowledge and human wisdom which are alive and well in our residency program.
Our program is thriving under leadership of Dr. Prab Gill, who has a regional reputation as a passionate educator with
numerous publications and distinctions. Dr. Krew and Dr. Hoppe act as associate and assistant program directors.
Dr. Gill is a seasoned Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist and is Chair and Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology
at Northeast Ohio Medical University, the local medical school with which our program is affiliated. Our outpatient
experience is guided by Drs. Kiko and Vassas, who are seasoned academic specialists in comprehensive obstetrics
and gynecology.
In the concluded academic year, we were proud of four of our residents presenting their scholarly projects at national
meetings. We also recognized and celebrated faculty listed below for their distinction as educators.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
The three-year Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program at Aultman Hospital encompasses a broad range
of cardiovascular disease. The educational goal is to produce clinically sound, well-rounded and compassionate
cardiologists. They will provide state-of-the-art and evidence-based care to a wide range of patient populations.
Fellows will integrate technological advances, clinical skills, knowledge base and information technology for
diagnosis, prevention and treatment of a wide spectrum of cardiovascular disease.
The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program completed their first three-year cycle with having two
graduating fellows. The faculty and fellows have focused on creating a robust educational environment and in
May 2017, the American College of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) approved the request to increase the
fellow complement to three fellows per academic year. This will go into effect for the 2017-18 first-year fellows.
Along with the accredited fellow increase, we now have two non-accredited fellows.
Due to the cardiovascular department’s increasing volume over the last three years, the fellows have
ample opportunity to care for patients in all of the required settings and acquire expertise in all the required
procedures. The faculty have increased their involvement in scholarly activity, and the program director
and four out of five key clinical faculty were actively involved in abstracts, presentations or publications
accepted in peer reviewed journals and national meetings. The fellows work along with the Cardiovascular
Consultants faculty associated with Aultman Hospital. The faculty specialize in electrophysiology, interventional
cardiology, peripheral vascular disease, nuclear cardiology, echocardiography and clinical cardiology. These
experienced clinicians provide the fellows opportunities to practice as competent, board certified consultants in
cardiovascular disease or to pursue specialized disciplines of cardiovascular disease training.

PATIENT SAFETY AND QUALITY HIGHLIGHTS
In the first year of training, residents completed Quality
and Patient Safety education modules from the Institute
of Healthcare Improvement (IHI). The IHI takes a unique
approach of working with hospitals and other health care
systems on improving quality, safety and value in health care.
This year the IHI added a module on using “PDSA” (Plan,
Do, Study, Act). This walks a resident through the process of
completing a quality improvement project to achieve a goal.
New residents and fellows go through the High Reliability
Organization (HRO) training as part of their orientation. Residents
and fellows have been active participants in Aultman’s ongoing
journey to become a high reliability organization.
The Quality Department has held several educational sessions
for the residents about the importance of variance reporting,
the diverse ways one can report, and the non-punitive nature of reporting. Since these sessions, the goal of
increasing reporting has been met and the number of variances submitted by residents has significantly increased.
Several residents have also participated in root cause analysis investigations.
In order to improve the resident/fellow hand-offs, a Transition of Care (TOC) committee was formed, consisting
of residents, fellows and faculty. A hand-off tool based on SBARCSS (Situation-Background-Assessment-
Recommendation-Code Status-Summary-Supervise) was developed. Hand-off competency check sheets were
implemented.
The following are quality and safety projects conducted by residents:
• “Panniculectomy Morbidity: Using Risk Score to Identify Patients for Additional Care.” Jay Patibandla, MD;
Michael P. Hopkins, MD
• “Innovative Methodology to Evaluate the Utility of our Obstetric Triage.” Megan Smith, MD; Prab Gill, MD;
Michael Krew, MD; Michael P. Hopkins, MD
• “Improving Ordering Physician Comfortably and Understanding of Radiologic Exams.” Jami Lyon, DO; David
Angari, MD
• “Increasing Compliance with Postpartum Follow-up for Gestational Diabetes.” Kriti Arora, MD, Jennifer

• “Methods of Improving Influenza Vaccine Rates.” Navreet Malhi, MD, Jennifer Zunenshine, MD
• “Pharmacy Medication Reconciliation Visits in the Primary Care Setting.” Amanda Gaymes, MD.
• “Pneumococcal Vaccination QI Project.” Miranda Rose, MD.
The Aultman Physician Center houses the outpatient continuity practices for the residencies. Our Family Medicine,
Internal Medicine and OB/GYN residents provide preventive, acute, prenatal and chronic health care. They also
perform outpatient procedures. These practices provide a significant service to the uninsured and underinsured
residents of Stark County.
The residency continuity practices are in the process of transformation to become a Federally Qualified Health Center
(FQHC) look-alike, and will operate under the name of My Community Health Center (MCHC). MCHC is committed
to providing high-quality care and contributing to the excellent education of our residents. As an FQHC, MCHC’s
mission “to provide compassionate care to all, healing and learning together” demonstrates the important balance
between resident education and quality of care to those most in need in our area.

CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION: 2017
Aultman Hospital is accredited by the Ohio State Medical Association (OSMA) to provide Continuing Medical
Education (CME) programs that meet the needs and interests of the medical staff in our community and network
service area for every physician’s continued success. In 2016, Aultman Hospital Medical Education received a six-year
accreditation with “commendation” from the OSMA. This is the third consecutive time that Aultman received the
maximum of six years. The OSMA noted “this is a super, well organized and well documented program.”
In 2016, twenty-seven activities and six regularly scheduled conference series (RSC) were sponsored for a total
of 154 instruction hours. These were attended by 2,111 physicians and 1,261 non-physicians. The use of the
competency assessment forms was the most common tool to measure change in physician competence.
Various hospital departments offered Category 1 CME programs:
• Medical Education Grand Rounds were offered at La Pizzaria as follows:
• Acute Stroke Care: Beyond IV TPA
• Clinical Documentation Improvement Seminar
• Current Status of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
• Determining Status and Level of Care Made Easy
• Utility of Low Dose CT for Lung Cancer Screening – The Aultman Experience
• The Cancer Center sponsored:
• The Sixteenth Annual Cancer Conference on September 17, 2016. The symposium focused on screening
guidelines for cancer, the role of integrative oncology for cancer patients, intraoperative radiation therapy
for breast cancer and advances in the treatment of ovarian cancer, neuroendocrine malignancies and brain
metastases. More than 50 physicians attended the half day symposium.
• The Perinatal Department sponsored:
• The following transport conferences were taken to area hospitals such as Aultman Orrville, Alliance
Community, Pomerene, Union and SE Ohio Regional Medical Center.
• Maternal Morbidity and Mortality (with a focus on the hemorrhage bundle)
• And with Proper Medication, They Lived Happily Ever After
• The 12th Annual Perinatal Symposium was held on November 11, 2016 with 110 physicians and non-
physicians in attendance.
• The challenges in healthcare today create a special need for great physician leadership. In response to this need,
the Medical Staff Office provided an annual Physician Leadership Summit for those physicians in leadership
roles.
• The MSO assisted physicians and other healthcare workers with Improving Clinical Documentation by
sponsoring four offerings on the topic.
• Regularly scheduled conferences were available:
• Multidisciplinary Breast Tumor Conference I was held on the second, fourth, and fifth Friday mornings of every
month.
• Multidisciplinary Breast Tumor Conference II was held on the first and third Thursday afternoons of every month.
• Multidisciplinary Thoracic Tumor Conference was held on the first and third Wednesday mornings of every month.
• Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Conference was held every Friday morning.
Aultman jointly sponsored Alliance Hospital’s tumor boards as a regularly scheduled conference series. Twelve
sessions were held with 82 physicians attending.
