Each fellow has a personal, biannual composite performance evaluation with the Program Director. Teaching attendings are asked to evaluate cardiovascular disease fellows and their performance at the completion of each assignment or rotation. Each fellow has access to these anonymous evaluations through MedHub. During this one-on-one meeting, the fellow's evaluations are reviewed, progress on procedural training is discussed, and progress toward career goals is assessed. The meeting enables the Program Director to ensure that fellows are achieving the goals of 这个项目, and it gives fellows a venue to voice any concerns or satisfaction they may have with their progress, 这个项目, 或者其他事情.

The program director meets formally with each fellow at least twice yearly and twice informally to provide structured feedback on their performance, including appropriate counseling and remedial work as needed. In the event of an adverse annual evaluation, the fellow is offered an opportunity to address judgments of academic deficiency/misconduct. Formal evaluations are done using the MedHub system.

Prior to meeting with 这个项目 director the fellow is asked to complete a self assessment.

Direct feedback on a fellow’s performances from nursing and ancillary personnel is given to the Program Director. This information is then included in narrative discussions done by the Program Director at the time of evaluations.

We do not have a formal evaluation mechanism in place for patients to provide anonymous feedback about a fellow’s performance. Information from patients normally goes directly to the supervising attending, again with this feedback noted in the evaluation process.
