The general policy of the training program is that evaluation is an ongoing process of two-way communication between a supervisee and her or his supervisors.
Evaluation is focused on strengths, areas of growth, and potential means to achieve future growth.
Interns are encouraged to take responsibility for their own evaluation, so that regular self-evaluation becomes part of their repertoire of skills. Thus, interns prepare a list of goals for the year, in consultation with the training director and their primary supervisor during orientation. Evaluations occur at 6 months and at the termination of the interns training year. These evaluations are comprised of three avenues of feedback. First, each supervisor provides verbal feedback to the intern regarding goal setting and progress to date.
