The instrument is intended for use by faculty supervisors, with a heavy focus on program directors and evaluation coordinators, to assess completed clinical evaluation forms (with quantitative and qualitative information) for any medical trainee after a clinical rotation. The instrument is a paper-based form with nine items; each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale with “1” representing the lowest score (not at all) and “5” representing the highest score (exemplary). The literature on the CCERR supports the validity of its scores and each item in the instrument is supported by appropriate psychometric analysis, which is the measure's greatest strength. The greatest disadvantages of the CCERR is its lack of a standardized cut-point to establish clear definitions of in-training evaluation reports (ITERs) that receive poor, average, and high scores, and the inadequate evidence to support consequence validity. Though the instrument has only been tested on faculty who assess medical learners on clerkships, it has the potential to be applied to other forms of evaluation of resident physicians and other allied health professionals. Further studies outlining the impact of low or high CCERR scores of ITERs on learners' academic standing, remediation, or subsequent promotion would be of use to the academic community in order to establish relevance for its widespread use among educators. Educational Objectives To describe the purpose and basic properties of the Completed Clinical Evaluation Report Rating (CCERR), including number of items and scales, and psychometric properties;To describe the application of the CCERR to the field of health sciences education;To evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of the CCERR; andTo provide the CCERR and supplemental materials to aid in its administration.
