Description

Written evaluations are used by trainees to reflect on their growth and development. They are used by the residency program, fellowships, and the medical school to assess whether trainees are meeting milestones and competence. Hence what a faculty member writes carries a great deal of meaning. Written evaluations are not easy to complete, and a well-crafted evaluation can take time, which most clinical teaching faculty do not have. This virtual retreat, led by a national leader on this topic, will explore best practices for writing high-yield evaluation that benefit everyone and save time.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for all of the clinical teaching faculty in the Department of Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital, as well as faculty from  Newton-Wellesley Hospital. This includes primary care preceptors, sub-specialty educator coordinators, inpatient attendings, intensive care unit attendings, cardiology inpatient attendings.

 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: 

  • Recognize the bias in language used in written evaluations.
  • Develop an understanding of best practices of written evaluations.
  • Practice writing a high-yield written evaluation.
