Faculty Evaluation

An annual evaluation of faculty members is an ACGME Common Program Requirement:

• V.B. Faculty Evaluation
  • V.B.1. The program must have a process to evaluate each faculty member’s performance as it relates to the educational program at least annually.
    • V.B.1.a) This evaluation must include a review of the faculty member’s clinical teaching abilities, engagement with the educational program, participation in faculty development related to their skills as an educator, clinical performance, professionalism, and scholarly activities.
    • V.B.1.b) This evaluation must include written, anonymous, and confidential evaluations by the residents.
  • V.B.2. Faculty members must receive feedback on their evaluations at least annually.
  • V.B.3. Results of the faculty educational evaluations should be incorporated into program-wide faculty development plans.
