Evaluating the Evaluators: Implementation of a Multi-Source Evaluation Program for Graduate Medical Education Program Directors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multi-source evaluation has demonstrated value for trainees, but is not generally provided to residency or fellowship program directors (PDs).

Objective

To develop, implement, and evaluate a PD multi-source evaluation process.

Methods

Tools were developed for PD evaluation by trainees, department chairs, and graduate medical education (GME) leadership. Evaluation questions were based on PD responsibilities, including Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirements. A follow-up survey assessed the process.

Results

Evaluation completion rates were as follows: trainees in academic year 2012-2013, 53% (958 of 1824), and in academic year 2013-2014, 42% (800 of 1898); GME directors in 2013-2014, 100% (95 of 95); and chairs/chiefs
