DCFM Academic Fellowship/Professional Development Program
Date of Session: October 27, 2010 1 hour
Name of Supervising Master Teacher: xxxxxxxx
Medical Education Activity/ Name of Teaching Program: Mount Sinai Academic
Family Health Team, Teacher’s meeting
Location / Hospital: Granovsky - Gluskin Family Medicine Center, MSAFHT
Participants / Audience: Staff physician’s in the group in a supervisory role of residents on the unit as well as representation form management, social work, and nursing.
Education Level of Participants: N/A
Type of Education Activity (1:1 ambulatory, group, meeting): Observation and participation in evaluative process for residents in Family Medicine.
Positive Aspects of Session: - Used a consensus approach to decision making and evaluation. - Input of all who have supervised for a more fair and objective evaluation. - Well run, and timely meeting.
Difficulties of Session: - Limited context for evaluation (ex., in some instances, individuals had only been observed by anyone around the table 1 time). Despite this, most evaluators agreed regarding resident’s clinical attributes and deficiencies.
- One sided
Reflection and Interpretation of Session: I found myself very surprised by this session. It was unsettling for me to discuss learners in this way even with an understanding that it is necessary to evaluate. Issues regarding personal issues were brought forth in some instances to explain a resident’s behavior. It was educational to me in that I learned that the resident’s “supervisor” (or faculty advisor), is the person who after these meetings is responsible to then deliver the message of the “teacher’s group” to the resident in the form of feedback. I am normally a part of this process, but only on
