Abstract

An evaluation system developed at Michigan State University is designed to provide residents with a clear view of their strengths and weaknesses in a variety of areas. The instruments used in the evaluation system include supervisory rating forms that incorporate the objectives of the residency program, standard exercises for behavioral observation and factual information, and a standardized assessment of interview skills. Use of this system has resulted in a number of changes in curriculum on an individual and group basis, as well as changes in teaching techniques among the faculty. The initial high attrition rate among residents corresponding with initiation of the system is discussed.
