Instructions for the use of logbook
Aim of the logbook
The purpose of the logbook is to provide one source of evidence for the ne-
phrology scientific council that you attained the desired level of competency
required for licensure. It is the place where you are going to document experi-
ences and skills you attained during your training.
The logbook is divided into several sections. These instructions will help you
completing those sections correctly.
Personnel information
Please fill in all your personnel information required. This will help the Egyp-
tian Fellowship Administrators to process your logbook during scientific coun-
cil evaluation yearly and finally before sitting for the final exam. Your person-
nel photo should be attached to the logbook and you should sign the personnel
information page
Clinical nephrology , dialysis and transplantation case log
1. You will find lists with all required cases in the curriculum. Your level of
participation in each case and expected activities are also determined
2. You need to mention the patient data, management provided and case pro-
visional & final diagnosis
3. For each case write the date of the interview
4. Make a check mark at the appropriate column indicating your level of par-
ticipation in case management (observer, supervised management of the
case or independent management of the case)
5. Each case should be counter signed by your trainer. His signature is the
proof of your actual participation. The trainer signature should be very
clear
Procedures’ log
1. The logbook contains tables for required procedures during different stages
of training and the level of desired performance at each stage.
2. You will also find empty tables to write down the procedures, your level of
participation and the date.
3. Your trainer should countersign each procedure to document the event
8
Academic activities
1. Academic activities that must be documented are lectures, journal clubs,
morbidity and mortality meetings and workshops or conferences at-
tended.
2. Any attended activity must be signed by the workshop or conference organ-
izer/coordinator. At least two national conferences in the field of nephrol-
ogy must be attended
Rotation Proof
Your scientific council has determined specific rotations in subspecialties
that you must go through during the training period (see your curriculum for
details). After you finish each rotation sign its block by the Hospital/training
center manager and stamp officially.
Assessment of logbook activities
1. Your trainer will assess your logbook weekly for completion and provide
feedback
2. Your educational supervisor will assess your logbook monthly or every two
months, provide verbal or written feedback and counter sign important ac-
tivities
3. The examination committee of the scientific council will revise your log-
book:
A) Annually before you progress from one year of training to another
B) At the end of training before the final exam
To be noted that unsatisfactory completion of the logbook would lead to delay
of training progression.
Unsatisfactory logbook at the end of training will prevent you from entering the
final exam
Important Notice:
It is your responsibility to maintain accurate and completed logbook and to regu-
larly update your records. Shall you meet any difficulty; you must contact your
trainer or your specialty administrator at the Egyptian Fellowship Board.
