Evaluations & Surveys

This section of the GME site reviews the ACGME Common Program Requirements (CPR) related to evaluations and surveys, and provides resources to assist in meeting those requirements. 

ACGME Common Program Requirements are the foundation of your Program's ACGME Subspecialty Requirements

Please review your Program's subspecialty ACGME Requirements for additional requirements from your ACGME Review Committee (RC).

Stanford Health Care will receive an institutional site visit from the ACGME in December 2024. During this visit, the ACGME will review institutional compliance, focusing on SHC’s ability to monitor and ensure that all programs are meeting compliance requirements.

Our focus is on: 

• Formative evaluation where the ongoing assessment of a trainee's performance has the primary goal of providing feedback that can be used for improvement.
• Development Over Judgment:Evaluations should prioritize the development of trainees rather than serving as a tool for judgment.
• Use of criterion referenced evaluations to ensure that evaluations are fair, objective, and aligned with the specific skills and knowledge that trainees are expected to acquire.
• Transparency involving clear communication about the evaluation criteria, methods, and the purpose of assessments

Our goals are to enhance evaluation rates (resident/fellow evaluation from faculty and faculty evaluation from resident/fellow), assist programs that have been cited by the ACGME for related issues, and establish consistent terminology for individualized learning plans (ILPs) and probation. This initiative arises in part from requests we've received from various medical boards concerning trainees' ILPs.
