Residents need to know how well they are progressing. The faculty has expertise that recognizes both strengths and weaknesses and works with the individual resident to develop specific educational plans. Residents, in turn, are also evaluators who have regular (and confidential) opportunities to provide feedback to the faculty and to the program.

All evaluations and documentation of procedures are stored electronically and are received upon completion. Resident meetings with faculty advisors take place every six months, at a minimum, to review progress toward family medicine competencies viewed below.
