A new Internet-based evaluation system significantly improved compliance in surgical residency programs. This digital tool enhances the efficiency and timeliness of performance assessments for residents and faculty.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Traditional paper-based evaluations in surgical residency programs present significant limitations.
  • Efficient and meaningful performance evaluation is crucial for trainee professional development.
  • An Internet-based system was developed to streamline resident, faculty, and rotation assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement an Internet-based evaluation system for surgical residency programs.
  • To improve the efficiency and speed of performance evaluations.
  • To enhance the assessment of resident, faculty, and rotation experiences.

Main Methods:

  • An online evaluation system was designed and implemented in October 1999.
  • Custom evaluations were created for residents, faculty, and rotations, accessible via the internet.

  • Data analysis included chi-square analysis, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.

    • Main Results:

    • Evaluation completion compliance increased from 50% to 80% within six months (p < 0.01).
    • The system received an average ease-of-use score of 3.5 out of 5.
    • Residents reported slightly higher satisfaction (3.69) than faculty (3.31); enhanced confidentiality was noted.

    Conclusions:

    • The Internet-based evaluation system offers a powerful tool for assessing surgical residency programs.
    • The system facilitates timely and efficient improvements to the educational experience.
    • Digital evaluation platforms can overcome limitations of traditional paper-based methods.
