Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Residency Programs

Background:

  • Faculty evaluations are crucial for faculty development in residency programs.
  • The impact of ongoing faculty evaluations on program improvement requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess if faculty evaluations improve faculty performance over time.
  • To identify faculty groups that benefit most from evaluation feedback.
  • To determine which evaluation criteria are most valuable for program improvement.

Main Methods:

  • 42 faculty members were evaluated by 40 surgical residents using a 10-criterion assessment form.
  • Interventions included letters detailing assessments and verbal feedback.
  • Data analyzed using ANOVA, Fisher PLSD, part-whole correlation, and partial eta-squared analysis.

Main Results:

  • Overall faculty performance improved across evaluation periods, with 30 faculty members showing increased scores.
  • Seven of 10 criteria improved, notably 'Provides Feedback,' 'Role Model,' and 'Stimulates Critical Thinking.'
  • Faculty with initially lower evaluations showed the most significant improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Ongoing faculty evaluations are effective tools for enhancing faculty performance.
  • Faculty members receiving the lowest initial evaluations demonstrated the greatest improvement.
  • Providing feedback is a highly valued criterion and could be central to evaluating accomplished faculty.
