Faculty evaluations can identify and improve teaching strengths and weaknesses. This study shows that using evaluations as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool enhances overall faculty performance and mentorship.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Residency Training
  • Faculty Development

Background:

  • Effective teaching programs foster mentorship, leadership, and professional growth.
  • Current faculty evaluations often reward positive feedback, neglecting critical areas for development.
  • Faculty evaluation's potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of faculty evaluations in objectively identifying individual faculty strengths and weaknesses.
  • To determine if faculty evaluations can serve as a therapeutic modality for enhancing overall faculty performance.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical residents defined 9 key characteristics of a surgical role model.
  • Residents anonymously evaluated 44 attending physicians on these 9 criteria.

  • Faculty received their evaluation results as an intervention; evaluations were repeated 6 months later to assess changes.
  • Main Results:

    • Faculty in the lowest evaluation groups showed significant improvement after the intervention.
    • Overall average scores across all 9 criteria improved for the faculty as a whole.
    • Statistically significant improvements were noted in feedback, didactic teaching, attendance, and critical thinking stimulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Faculty evaluations effectively identify role models and areas for improvement.
    • The intervention demonstrated a positive impact on overall faculty performance.
    • The therapeutic benefits of faculty evaluations are most pronounced in lower-scoring faculty members.
