Effects of a program for evaluating child psychiatry fellows
CM Pfeifer, GA Rogeness, RL Rubin and AC Serrano
The authors describe their experience with the implementation of a
systematic evaluation of child psychiatry fellows and adult psychiatry
residents rotating through a child psychiatry program. They found that the
semiannual evaluations not only defined the competence of fellows and
residents but also enhanced the program by pointing out areas of weakness.
The evaluation process had many other beneficial effects on the program,
the faculty, the child psychiatry fellows, and the adult psychiatry
residents.
