Evaluation

Evaluation is an essential function of residency training and the Department of Anesthesiology. Comprehensive, confidential feedback is provided semiannually to each resident by the program director or assigned designee. Components of the evaluation include:

  • Conference attendance
  • Scores on faculty-developed multiple choice questions, based on lecture blocks and assigned book chapters
  • Scores on ABA-ASA In-Training Exam, administered annually
  • CA-1 scores on Anesthesia Knowledge Test at one month
  • Written evaluations of each resident submitted by faculty at the end of rotations. Competency evaluations are based upon rotation and level-specific goals and objectives, knowledge base and clinical skills
  • Written evaluations of CA-3 and CA-2 resident performance on the mock oral exam
  • Written evaluations of CA-3 resident senior project
  • 360o evaluations by non-physician staff

The residency program and the Department of Anesthesiology are committed to continuous improvement and use multiple sources of feedback, including:

  • Annual program evaluations completed by residents, fellows and faculty
  • Annual post-graduation program evaluations completed by alumni
  • Annual faculty evaluations completed by residents and fellows
  • Evaluation of program graduates by employers
  • Weekly didactic conference evaluations by residents, fellows and faculty
  • Internal review by the institution's Graduate Medical Education Committee
