- PD can utilize feedback results to set annual goals with individual faculty members
|
💡Improvement idea 3: Faculty Teaching improves as a result of feedback
Tools:
Implementation:
- Create an award to recognize trainees and faculty who meet/exceed the program’s expectations for timely feedback
- PD sends a personal email to faculty to complete evals if they are more than one month late. The email reminds them of the 2-week standard
