Step #6: Learner Assessment, Evaluation, and Feedback

  • Regular meetings with the Resident reviewing their progress is scheduled.
  • Regular communication between programs and PGME during the implementation of remediation is encouraged.
  • At the completion of the Remediation Plan, the Competence Committee, RTC, or RPC meet to review the data and determine outcome of the plan. This should be done in a timely manner.
  • The outcome of the Plan is then communicated to the Resident.
  • A final Remediation or Probation outcome report is submitted to PGME.
  • A true measure of remediation success is sustained improvement around identified deficits within the context of the regular program. Implementation of a monitoring system after remediation is highly recommended to programs to ensure that the newly remediated resident continues to succeed.
  • Reflection and program evaluation can inform the successful development of future learning support and remediation plans, further feeding into the curriculum design cycle.
