EvaluationEvery good educational program must make efforts to scrutinize progress. We have a series of evaluation efforts as described below: Program - The program as a whole has been reviewed by experienced consultants from the Residency Assistance Program of the AAFP. The program has received full accreditation from the Residency Review Committee of the ACGME. The entire faculty conducts an annual review of the program's mission, goals and objectives. Rotations - Every rotation is evaluated by each resident completing the learning experience. This feedback is used to regularly adjust and improve the teaching environment. Faculty - The residents formally review faculty on an annual basis. This information helps faculty to identify areas in which teaching techniques can be improved. Residents - All residents take the American Board of Family Practice In-Training Examination annually. This allows each resident to judge his/her individual progress, and for the program to judge its overall educational effectiveness. Residents receive ongoing feedback during rotations from faculty, and a written evaluation upon completion of each rotation. Each resident has a family practice faculty advisor who reviews progress with them and with the faculty on a quarterly basis. SummaryPracticing medicine is one of the most rewarding professional adventures. Family medicine delicately balances the fascination of discovery with the privilege of close personal relationships that families bestow only upon their personal physicians. The Cox Family Practice Residency Program endeavors to teach the best of science to prepare its graduates for the difficult but intriguing work of diagnosis and treatment. We also make every effort to develop the artist's intellect in our residents so they can fully appreciate, practically utilize, and diligently protect the trust their patients grant them. We carry out our educational program in an atmosphere of pleasure. It goes without saying that the family physician has to work hard. But the family physician in our program has the opportunity to work hard and experience the joy of learning in an environment of faculty and staff members who appreciate their importance in the future of our world. |
