Feedback and Evaluation
The Partners Office of Graduate Medical Education offers a number of resources to promote effective trainee feedback and evaluation. These resources are available to Partners-sponsored ACGME and non-ACGME residency and fellowship programs:
- The PHS Institutional Policy on Resident Evaluation of ACGME and non-ACGME Trainees defines evaluation and feedback requirements for Programs, Program Directors, Trainees, and Faculty
- Evaluation tools for assessment of Trainees, Faculty, and Programs include:
- Competency- based multi-source evaluation templates for the assessment of Trainees by: Faculty (Short and standard versions), other healthcare professionals, peers, and patients
- Trainee self-assessment
- Trainee evaluation of Faculty (end of rotation evaluation)
- Annual Evaluation of Program by Trainee
- Annual Evaluation of Program by Faculty
- Grand rounds, workshops, department-specific conferences focusing on strategies for effective feedback and evaluation.
- Individual coaching for faculty to enhance trainee feedback
Partners GME strongly recommends the use of New Innovations for the distribution and management of trainee, faculty, and annual program evaluations. Mary Ellen Goldhamer, MD MPH can answer specific questions relevant to feedback and evaluation and Anne Rigg is the IT Project Specialist for New Innovations. All assessment templates are available in New Innovations or by contacting Carolyn Ellis or Anne Rigg.
