Abstract
This study seeks to examine the utility and efficacy of the application of a systematic self-evaluation process in a single graduate medical education residency program and to compare the results of this process to previous program self-evaluation efforts. This case study examined the impact of using a systematic evaluation process, the “impact evaluation process,” as a means for annual program evaluation in an ophthalmology residency program sponsored by a large health care institution. Three years of outcome data (2011–2013) were analyzed and compared to prior evaluation efforts. Surveys with residency program stakeholders were conducted in 2011 and 2013. The findings suggest that over this time, the number of recommended actions for program improvement increased, were more qualitatively robust, and more action items were completed. Recommendations generated using the systematic evaluation process were actionable (specific and measurable) and aligned to program deficits.
