About the Program: Evaluations
During the year, residents are evaluated by rotation preceptors, the Pharmacy Director, and themselves.
Prior to the start of each new rotation, residents meet with the rotation preceptor, primarily to discuss and customize the rotation's goals and objectives in order to meet the specific needs of the resident. A review of the enabling objectives (EOs) and terminal objectives (TOs) should be completed on the first day of the rotation. During the rotation, residents meet with preceptors on a regular basis, as determined by the preceptor and resident. Within one week after completion of the rotation, residents meet with their preceptors for evaluation purposes: preceptors evaluate the residents; residents evaluate preceptors and the rotation; and they conduct a self-assessment. Any modifications to the rotation or its goals and objectives also can be discussed. All evaluations are completed in the EO/TO format. All residents and rotation evaluations must be written and included in each individual resident's notebook.
Rotation evaluations are discussed at weekly meetings with the Pharmacy Director. Self-assessments are completed quarterly and reviewed with the facilitator and Residency Program Director. Copies of the rotation evaluations are kept by residents in their residency notebooks, which will be available to the facilitator and the Residency Preceptor Committee.
