  • Reliabilities for ACGME competency subscales ranged from .61 to .79.
  • Factor analysis identified three scales: clinical practice/teaching, departmental citizenship, and research.
  • Research faculty excelled in research skills; administrative faculty performed better in departmental roles.

Conclusions:

  • A system where all faculty evaluate each other yields objective and reliable faculty performance measures.
  • This peer evaluation approach can effectively assess physician competencies and roles.
