1 Surveys: One More Outcomes Measure Jay Shapiro, MD Program Director Anesthesiology

2 Program Evaluation and Improvement 1. The program must document formal, systematic evaluation of the curriculum at least annually. The program must monitor and track each of the following areas: a) resident performance; b) faculty development; c) graduate performance, including performance of program graduates on the certification examination; and, d) program quality. Specifically: (1) Residents and faculty must have the opportunity to evaluate the program confidentially and in writing at least annually, and (2) The program must use the results of residents’ assessments of the program together with other program evaluation results to improve the program. 2. If deficiencies are found, the program should prepare a written plan of action to document initiatives to improve performance in the areas listed in section V.C.1. The action plan should be reviewed and approved by the teaching faculty and documented in meeting minutes.

3 Graduate performance: Results of performance on board certification examinations is one measure of graduate performance. Data can also be collected by annual surveys of graduates. Typically, such surveys target physicians one year and five years after graduation. Forms used may be provided by the institution, developed locally or adapted from the published literature (or unpublished but available online). Survey questions may inquire about such items as current professional activities of graduates and perceptions on how well prepared they are as a result of the program.
