Curriculum Development and Evaluation Committee
Introduction
The Curriculum Development and Evaluation (CDE) committee has been an integral part of the Family Practice Residency Program for several years (July 1993). The full committee consists of a Chairperson, family practice and behavioral science faculty in addition to administrative personnel. The program director sits on the committee but not as the chairperson.
Initially it was organized to provide a systematic evaluation of the residents and their progress through the program. As the curriculum development process became more defined the CDE committee became more involved in the planning and development, and subsequent evaluation, of the rotations and curriculum for the Family Practice Residency. The committee makes recommendations to the program director on matters of resident performance, evaluation and curriculum issues.
There has been a concerted effort to systematically review the entire curriculum on an on going basis and develop defined goals and objectives for all rotations and curricular elements. Subsequent resident and rotation (including instructor) evaluations are based on whether they accomplish these specific goals and objectives. If rotations are not meeting these desired ends the goals and objectives are re-evaluated and/or the rotation is revised. Instructors that consistently fail to provide adequate teaching and foster a learning environment are advised of the changes that they need to make. Continued poor performance in these area results in the instructor being removed from the Family Practice faculty position.
With the recent implementation of the ACGME Outcomes Project and the development of the core competencies the CDE committee has re-organized its evaluation of residents to include these. Specific changes in the rotation evaluation forms to specifically address these issues has been instituted, and, a more methodical and systematic evaluation of the residents by Family Practice faculty has been instituted. In addition, these specific core competencies will become part of the quarterly evaluations of the residents.
In view of the above, the CDE committee goals are as follows:
1. Develop and implement an appropriate curriculum for FP residents within the ACGME and AOA requirements
2. Make adjustments in the curriculum as necessary to meet new ACGME and AOA requirements
3. Develop a process to continually monitor this curriculum as to its effectiveness and appropriateness.
4. Make recommendations to the program director concerning curriculum issues, including resident and faculty performance and concerns involving curriculum.
5. Develop a mechanism to monitor resident and faculty performance.
6. Make recommendations to the program director regarding issues of resident compliance with all CDE and program academic requirements, and any specific remedial issues necessary to correct deficiencies.
7. Make recommendations to the program director regarding resident advancement and graduation.
8. Make recommendation at the Quarterly faculty meeting regarding resident performance, advancement and graduation

Sick Day phoned to Family Practice Office 606-5985 2. Away Rotation with location a minimum of 50 miles away from GRMC 3. Approved Vacation Time (PTO) 4. Rotation required time away (Dr. Hanson’s office, Night Float) 5. Skeleton Crew Failure of a resident to meet minimum standards for conference attendance will result in a jeopardy call during the next block. |

|
II. Evaluations: |
|
Resident performance: CDE will monitor resident performance on all rotations by reviewing rotation specific evaluations submitted to CDE (New Innovations) by attending physicians. A. Rotation evaluations will be standardized by CDE to a scale of 1 (FAIL) to 5 (outstanding) with a mean of 3 to 4. CDE may assign numerical values to written comments when appropriate. In addition, the faculty will evaluate residents on the ACGME/AOA core competencies. Competency Based Evaluation (CBE) will be completed biannually by Family Practice Faculty. This information will be reviewed by CDE and presented at Quarterly Faculty Meetings. Based on this information the Program Director will complete the CBE Form as required by the ACOFP. (This process will be developed and integrated into the current electronic biannual faculty evaluation completed on all Family Practice trainees.) |
|
B. CDE will recommend corrective action if a resident receives less than satisfactory evaluations. |
|
C. CDE will monitor the performance of teaching faculty and the goals and objectives for each rotation. This feedback is received from residents completing a rotation evaluation form at the end of each rotation. When indicated, CDE will make changes in the rotation. Issues involving faculty will be reviewed by the CDE Committee, recommendations made to the program directors who will meet with the attending physician. CDE will monitor the performance of core and community Family Practice faculty. This feedback is received biannually from residents completing faculty evaluations at the end of each quarterly exam. Issues with Family Practice faculty will be reviewed by the CDE Committee, recommendations made to the program directors who will meet with the faculty physician. |
|
D. Rotation Quizzes: CDE will implement rotation quizzes utilizing the AAFP Monograph Series to assess mastery of assigned readings. Failure to submit the Rotation Quiz and Rotation Evaluation by the last Friday of the Block Rotation will result in an immediate Jeopardy Call. Passing grade is 90%.

If the problem is deemed to be of significance, the program director will investigate and report to the CDE Committee with a follow-up report at the next Quarterly meeting. |
|
XI. CDE may recommend the following actions to the Program Director: |
|
A. Promotion with honors Residents with superior performance in all areas of evaluation throughout the year will be recommended for promotion with honors. Residents receiving promotion with honors will be given priority consideration for employment as Chief Resident, Assistant Chief Resident, and Faculty. |
|
B. Promotion Residents with consistently acceptable performance in all areas of evaluation will be recommended for promotion. |
|
C. Intensification of evaluation (Academic Warning) CDE, as a result of test scores, faculty or resident feedback, may recommend more intensive monitoring of a resident's performance as a corrective action. This may take the form of an Academic Warning Letter, requiring the resident to be observed more frequently in any setting (e.g., during Family Health Center) or while performing a given procedure; or it may involve requiring the resident to take and pass written or oral examinations in subject matter defined by the faculty; or it may take any other form recommended by CDE and approved by the program director. |
|
D. Repeat of a rotation CDE may recommend that a resident be required to repeat a specified rotation as a corrective action. CDE may recommend that the rotation be repeated in lieu of elective time or that the rotation be repeated in additional time, delaying promotion or graduation. No more than one rotation may be repeated at the expense of elective time. |
|
E. Specific remedial activity CDE may recommend that a resident be required to undertake and perform in a satisfactory manner specific tasks of remediation as a corrective action.

|
H. Probation CDE may recommend that a resident be placed on probation as a corrective action. CDE will recommend probation in cases where the resident's ability to meet the requirements of the program is in doubt. CDE will recommend the length and conditions of said probation including requirements that the resident must meet in order to avoid dismissal from the program. |
|
I. Suspension CDE may recommend suspension from the program as a disciplinary action. Suspension will be for a specified length of time. Generally suspension will be employed in cases where a resident has violated a policy, e.g., for failure to complete medical records in a timely fashion. |
|
J. Dismissal CDE may recommend dismissal from the program as a disciplinary action. Generally CDE will recommend dismissal in cases where one or more other corrective actions have been recommended and employed but where the resident's performance has failed to improve. CDE may, however, recommend dismissal as a consequence of flagrantly unacceptable conduct. |
|
All actions of the CDE committee will be guided by the GRMC GME Policy and Procedures Manual in regards to resident non advancement and probation, suspension and dismissal. |
