The 360 degrees evaluation.
The 360 degrees evaluation refers to resident assessment by all persons in the resident's sphere of influence. Although most think of the 360 degrees evaluation as a single tool used by all nonfaculty personnel, it is actually an assessment system. Therefore, all evaluators, including faculty, and all tools used in the assessment of residents comprise the 360 degrees evaluation. The goal of the 360 degrees evaluation is to accurately assess resident performance using tools that are reliable and valid so that competence can be demonstrated and programmatic needs identified. This article provides insights into the evaluation process through guidelines, practical advice, and examples from the field.
