Methods used in Evaluating Resident and
Program Perfomance
At the end of the rotation, the resident is evaluated in writing and their
performance reviewed with them verbally by every attending and fellow
he or she has interacted with for a significant amount of time. The evaluator
rates the resident on a nine-point scale in each component of clinical
competence (i.e. patient care, medical knowledge, practice based learning
improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism,
system based learning, educational attitudes, leadership, overall clinical
competence).
The resident is given the opportunity to evaluate in writing the quality
of the curriculum and the extent to which the educational goals and objectives
of the rotation have been met. The resident also evaluates the teaching
competence of each attending and fellow with whom s/he has interacted
for a significant amount of time.
Explicit Lines of Responsiblity for Care
of Patients on this Service
Attending physicians provide direct supervision of all care provided by
resident physicians and thus bear responsibility for quality of care,
orders, and follow-up. Attending supervision is documented by co-signature
on resident notes.
