Evaluations of both the
individual resident by faculty and of the faculty and program by the residents
occur at regular intervals throughout the year. Both types of evaluations are
critical for the growth of the individual resident and the continued improvement
of the program.
Resident Evaluations of the
Program – these are all completely
confidential/anonymous.
• End of rotation evaluations that are done using “New Innovations”
• Mid and End of year evaluations of the faculty, conference,
rotations that are done at the residency
retreats or using “New Innovations”
• Informal feedback about the program is given during the monthly
HOI or HO II/III lunches with the PD.
• Conference topics are evaluated at the end of each conference.
Program Evaluations of
Individual Residents
• Residents are evaluated using “New Innovations” at the end of each
rotation by faculty.
• Residents are evaluated at the end of every ED shift and provided
formative feedback. These cards are
turned in by faculty and complied at the end of each month.
Summary of these evaluations are provided
via New Innovations at the end of the month.
• Residents are evaluated by ED staff and patients twice a year
using a 360 model.
• Residents will be directly observed by a faculty member for 2-8
hours per year in the ED.
• Residents meet with their advisor twice a year in the fall and
spring for informal feedback.
• Residents meet with the PD or APDs for mid and end of year formal
evaluations. These are required for
promotion/graduation. At the end of each of these evaluations
the resident will be given a written copy of
the evaluation to sign and return to the program coordinator.
This evaluation will include action items
with a timeline which must be completed. Failure to complete
these items may result in academic probation.
Examinations:
There are two formal examinations each year. A mid-year exam with multiple
formats is given each spring. As part of this 4 hour exam, the resident works
through mock “oral board” cases, reads X-rays and EKGs, performs focused EM
procedures, and does a mock resuscitation on the human simulator. The residents
take the national EM Inservice Exam each year.

LEARNING TO TEACH 
It is the expectation that every resident will develop essential teaching skills
during residency. By the end of the residency it is expected that the resident
will be able to: give a formal presentation, develop and present an M+M, teach a
procedure at the bedside, use the microskills model to precept a junior resident
or student, write learning objectives, and provide effective feedback. Optional
skills include developing test questions, teaching with simulation, small group
facilitation, and curriculum development. The teaching curriculum includes:
• Formal presentation requirement – how
to lecture
• M+M presentation requirement – giving a case based presentation
• HO III Seminar Series – microskills model, feedback
• Clinical rotations – teaching a procedure
• EMS rotation – paramedic lectures and testing
• Toxicology rotation – formal lecture
• Education Chief Resident – curriculum development, teaching with
simulation, small group facilitation
• Introduction to EM for the UNM SOM – small group teaching with
medical students
• Teacher and Educator Development Office – monthly courses offered
free to residents on over 15
different educational topics
• Resident as Educator Course – Two day course for interested
residents taught by GME office
Advisors:
Each resident chooses an advisor. The resident and advisor meet periodically to
review evaluations, test results and other materials. Each resident meets with
the residency or assistant residency director biannually to review resident
progress.
