PRE-SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE
STANDARD B4: RESOURCES
"There must be sufficient resources including teaching faculty, the number and variety of
patients, physical and technical resources, as well as the supporting facilities and services
necessary to provide the opportunity for all residents in the program to achieve the educational
objectives and receive full training as defined by the Royal College specialty training
requirements."
Program
Medical Microbiology
University
Date of Review (month/year)
Sites Participating in this Program:
Where the resources to provide "full training" are not available at the sponsoring university, several
different types of interuniversity affiliations may be negotiated. It should be noted that the exchange of
residents between two fully accredited programs does not require an interuniversity affiliation.
