Policy Statement

 

As part of the ACGME Institutional Requirements, the College of Medicine is required to provide documentation that each Residency Program has written criteria on the evaluation and promotion of residents. 

 

Each resident shall be evaluated twice yearly, in writing, on his/her knowledge, skills, professional growth, professional attitude, moral and ethical development, as well as professional demeanor and rapport with patients, colleagues, supervisors, and others. 

 

Each program shall provide a final written evaluation of the resident who completes his/her applicable residency program.  This final review shall include a review of the resident’s performance during the final period of training and shall demonstrate that the resident has developed sufficient professional ability to practice medicine competently and independently.  This final evaluation shall remain a part of the resident’s permanent record maintained by the institution.

 

In consideration of promotion of residents, each evaluation shall include a decision to promote a resident to the next level (or completion) of training, based on a cumulative formative evaluation.
