INTRODUCTION TO REQUIRED EVALUATIONS AND LIST OF EVALUATIONS USED IN THIS RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Evaluating resident’s knowledge, skills, and performance is continually done to ensure that the objectives and standards listed in the Rotation Descriptions and Duty Sheets are met. Evaluation mechanisms in use by the program are consistent with those described in "Competencies Definitions and Practice Performance Measurements from the RRC for Diagnostic Radiology”.

RRC Evaluation Measurements

Evaluations General Info

In the individual Rotation Descriptions contained in the Radiology Residency Curriculum Description, letter codes have been used to indicate which evaluation mechanisms are most commonly applied to any given set of objectives. This simplifies the Rotation Descriptions to make it easier to find important information about competencies, goals, and objectives.

These Evaluation Method Codes should be interpreted with the following considerations in mind:

• The same code for two different groups of objectives, within the same rotation or between different rotations, does not necessarily mean that the evaluation process will be identical. For example, an "objective test" can be written, or can be administered as an oral exam. It may occur at the end of the year, or at the end of one month of a rotation. Each evaluation activity will be adapted to the content of the rotation and the experience level of the resident.

• There is no one-to-one correspondence, in terms of timing, between the evaluation methods indicated by the letter codes and the objectives to which they are attached. Some methods are applied on a yearly basis, covering several rotations, while others are applied at the end of one month of a rotation (even if the complete rotation requires more than one month's experience).

• Some evaluation mechanisms tend to be "nested" under others. For example, Direct Observation (D) and Evaluation of Quality of Reports (C) are considered when faculty perform Global Evaluations (A) of residents.

• Summative Evaluation= Elicited from multiple observations of the resident.

• Formative Evaluation= Observed from one instance, a single encounter with the resident. A single, brief encounter is not reflective of the overall experience unless it is a trend observed repeatedly by all.

• Point of Clarification: If the resident has made a mistake, corrects the problem and improves the behavior, target the improvement rather than the problem.

The letter codes used in the Rotation Descriptions are listed below, with brief descriptions of the activities involved:

A. Global Evaluation of Residents by Faculty. Faculty indicate whether the resident is below, at, or above expected competency levels for each of the goals, attached to the six competency areas, that are common to all rotations in the department. This form is completed monthly on New Innovations.

B. 360 Degree Evaluations. 360 degree Feedback is collected on each resident either annual or biannual. This feedback is "global", that is, it is not tied to specific rotations or subspecialties. These evaluations include:

Biannual technologist, ultrasonographer, or nurse evaluation of the resident: Residents receive evaluations from selected supporting hospital staff that they are exposed to during various rotations. These evaluations include information on the six core competencies (as already listed) as appropriate for a staff’s assessment of resident performance. Data collected will be collated biannually by the program coordinator, copied and shared with residents in an anonymous format.

Yearly peer evaluation of the resident: Residents receive a yearly written formative peer evaluation from each of their fellow residents in the program. These evaluations include information on the six core competencies. The evaluations are submitted to the PC who is responsible for collating the data and placing it in the resident’s electronic portfolio. Peer evaluations remain confidential, to be reviewed with the resident as part of their semi-annual program director evaluation. Data collected will be shared with the resident annually in an anonymous format so that the resident peer reviewer’s identity is kept confidential.

Patient evaluation of the residient: Residents will receive anonymous written formative survey evaluations of their performance from patients they care for during various rotations. The resident must receive at least ten survey evaluations per year. These evaluations include information relevant to the core competencies. The evaluations are forwarded to the PC who is responsible for collating the results and uploading them to the resident’s portfolio. The evaluations remain confidential. The patient evaluations are reviewed with the resident as part of their semi-annual program director evaluation.

Semi-annual resident self assessment: Residents are asked to fill out a semi-annual self assessment questions within their portfolio update form where they reflect on their goals and accomplishments during the prior 6 month period. The resident discusses their self evaluation with the PD biannually. Plans for reaching new goals for the following year will be discussed. Additionally, an annual self assessment evaluation will be completed that will reflect the resident’s evaluation of himself/herself as it pertains specifically to milestones.

Program director summative evaluation: The PD conducts a biannual summative evaluation directly using the resident’s portfolio update form with each resident. At this meeting, the resident and PD discuss individual and collated evaluations that he/she has received. PD reviews with the resident all that has been accomplished as outlined in the portfolio update form. This form with PD evaluation comments will be included with documents for the Clinical Competency Committee.

Program director annual summative evaluation for completion of the academic year and at the completion of the resident’s training: Evaluation forms required by the AOCR to be filled out and submitted to the AOCR.

C. Evaluation of quality of reports. Quality of reports is monitored throughout each rotation, and the supervising faculty incorporates their observations into the Global Evaluation of Residents (A).

D. Direct Observation or OSCE. Direct observation of critical procedures and processes is most commonly part of the ongoing activity in a rotation, and supervising faculty incorporate their observations into the Global Evaluation of Residents (A).

E. Resident Learning Portfolio. Documentation of resident participation in conferences and courses, as well as any self-assessment modules that may be completed.

F. Case/Procedure Logs. Case logs are reviewed on a yearly basis. Logs meet the requirements for vascular and interventional procedures. Residents are also responsible for keeping a case log book for nuclear medicine therapies. Case logs for other areas are in the process of development.

G. Objective Tests. Objective tests may be written or oral. Among department activities in this area are monthly objective tests at the end of some rotations, Rad Primer routine tests, participation in the ACR In-Service Test, and mock oral boards given in winter of the 4th year of residency. Resident performance on the Physics, Writtens and Oral boards by the AOBR are also documented during residency.

H. Journal Club. Journal Club is a monthly activity which gives residents an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to access, interpret, and apply the radiology literature to enhance their skills and knowledge, and to improve the quality of patient care.

I. Documentation of Participation in Hospital and Departmental Activities. Graduate Medical Education Committee (Chief Resident), Radiology Department meetings (required), Medical Staff meetings (required) and other hospital committees (residents required to be a part of 1 hospital committee for the academic year) are among the many activities residents are involved.
