Area of Science:

Medical Education
Healthcare Quality Management

Background:

Traditional definitions of residency training quality often focus on educational structures and processes.
A customer-centered, outcomes-oriented approach, common in other industries, offers a more comprehensive view.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a general definition of quality in residency training.
To describe a process for developing this definition.

Main Methods:

Identified key customers of residency training programs (trainees, patients, etc.).
Considered the needs and perspectives of these identified customers.
Developed a multidimensional definition of quality.

Main Results:

The proposed definition of quality is multidimensional.
It incorporates clinical proficiency, socioeconomic dimensions, and ethical concerns.
The definition is customer-centered and outcomes-oriented.

Conclusions:

A new, comprehensive definition of quality in residency training has been developed.
Further work is needed to operationalize this multidimensional definition for practical application.
This approach aligns residency training quality with broader healthcare and business standards.
