Web-Based Resident Rotation Evaluations

Subject: Web-Based Rotation Evaluation by Residents
The new web-based form for resident evaluation of rotations is ready for use, beginning with the first rotations of academic year 2003-2004.
Your replies are anonymous, so that you can fill out evaluations frankly. The evaluations of your rotations that you complete online will be compiled before they are sent to your program director, so responses cannot be identified by individual.
Your program director and residency coordinator need to know whether or not you have complied with filling out the evaluations. Your program will be able to check WHETHER an individual resident has completed the evaluation, but NOT what you wrote!
The compiled evaluations will be used by your program to improve the curriculum. Graduate Medical Education will also use your feedback to make sure that important issues such as security and duty hours are being addressed.
Since the information will be analyzed for general trends, not identified by individual, it is important to continue to raise individual issues through proper channels, such as your program director or GME.
PLEASE NOTE:

•   As of July 1, 2007, the Web-Based Resident Rotation Evaluation system has been replaced by the Evaluation Module in the New Innovations Residency Management Suite.

•   Beginning July 1, 2007, all residents and fellows must complete the required Rotation Evaluations for Duty Hours and Institutional Issues (quality/availability/cost where applicable for food services; call rooms; patient support services; laboratory, pathology and radiology services; online information resources; security; personal safety; and parking services) through New Innovations.
