Endorsement of Logbook Entries

PTMS allows the trainee to maintain his/her logbook online during his/her traineeship. Upon submission, logbook entries would be pending endorsement by the training supervisor. Once a particular logbook entry has been endorsed by the training supervisor, the trainee is no longer allowed to modify the entry.

 

Please note that the grace period for logbook entries endorsement is 60 days from the end of the posting. Please also remind your supervisors to complete the End of Posting Assessment by Supervisor module in PTMS. No assessment will be allowed after 60 days from the end of posting as well.

 

Online logbooks are available to Family Medicine trainees from the November 2008 intake onwards. Trainees from intakes before November 2008 are to continue using their hardcopy logbooks to record their cases and training details as they are not required to use online logbooks. However, the respective posting assessments by trainees and supervisors are to be done online via PTMS.
