Abstract
-
BACKGROUND: The educational assessment of residents is very important in order to check their knowledge and to improve their ability. In case of family practice, the residents spend most of their training time in outside rotations with other specialities. Therefore, they are requested to be evaluated by each specialist after each rotation. To give more accurate assessment, we surveyed directly our family practice residents and family practice faculties.
METHODS
A questionnaire was sent to family practice residents and family practice faculties in 116 hospitals from May to June 2006. The response rate was 29% and 78%, respectively.
RESULTS
Among the total, 70.2% of family practice residents thought an assessment is necessary, but only 51.7% were evaluated. Overall, 90.4% of family practice faculties knew about the assessment of residents made by other specialists, and only 56.7% of faculties requested other specialists to assess their family practice residents.
CONCLUSION
Most of the family practice residents and their faculties knew the need for assessment, but they complained there were no objectivity and the assessment tool was lacking. In order to solve this problem, it is urgent to develop a unified form and guidelines of assesment.
