EDUCATIONAL AUDIT OF POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL-EDUCATION

This project examined the academic audit of postgraduate medical educa tion, and went on to research, design and implement an educational aud it system for use in Mersey Region, UK. Issues found to be significant included ownership of both standards and results, norming, and the le vels of aggregation of data. The project has demonstrated that designi ng and implementing a system of feedback which is effective and sustai nable is feasible, but requires the agreement and support of tutors as to its objectives and use. The resulting system has now been tested a cross a range of courses and programmes of meetings in Mersey Region, and has been accepted by the Postgraduate Office as the basis for futu re development.
