A MEASUREMENT PROCESS FOR EVALUATING CLINICAL TEACHERS IN INTERNAL-MEDICINE

With input from faculty members and residents in the internal medicine residency training program at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ont., th e authors developed a form to evaluate attending physicians in clinica l teaching units according to 14 domains of performance. Although brie f, the form included all main areas of teacher performance, allowed sp ecification of attending physician behaviour and differentiated areas of strengths and weaknesses between and within attending physicians. T he authors describe the new evaluation process and the results for 41 attending physicians.
