Resident Evals

Just curious, how do you do resident evals at your place? Is it face-to-face, paper, anonymous, online? Is it monthly or quarterly? Do you go over it them with the PD? And do you use something other than the core competencies?

I know there's no right way. Just interested in surgical education and wondered what some of the positions/pros and cons are.

To start, the place I am does anonymous, online, twice a year attending-to-resident evals that are reviewed with the PD.

We do twice annual online evals of our faculty and they do twice annual online evals of us. Response rates are high for residents because we generally get beaten if we don't do them. Faculty are probably ~70% complete, which I think is reasonably good, especially when you have a large number of faculty.

We have a meeting with our PD after the evals (just had ours last week). ~20 minutes for each resident, first he asks how we are feeling about the program, how we think we are doing, what we are doing well in, how we think we can improve. Then he goes over our VSITE results (for our spring meeting at least) and evals with us. Create action plan and areas of focus for the next 6 months. Works, doubt it is the "best", but the enemy of good is better...

PD man would call me into his office once every few months and read out loud the comments from nurses, scrub techs, ER docs, anesthesiologists, etc from my 360-degree evaluations something like this https://media.giphy.com/media/dC9DTdqPmRnlS/giphy.gif
