technicians), and record includes copies of blood work, imaging reports, histopathology
reports, etc. A complete paper record is maintained for each patient and each patient is
entered into the computer database.

30. What procedures are in place to facilitate collection of follow up information of patients

Residents are evaluated by the medical and radiation oncology faculty every 6 months
(see attached form) and a formal review of their performance and progress is provided in
a meeting between the resident and the radiation oncology program director.

OVERALL EVALUATION

1 – frequently exceeds expectations/standards
2 – fully achieves expectations/standards
3 – needs improvement


4 – fails to achieve expectations/standards
NA = not applicable
Residents are expected to achieve a “fully achieves expectations/standards” in each category. For categories with a
“frequently exceeds standards” score, residents should be acknowledged and commended. Suggestions for
improvement with a reasonable time frame should be addressed for categories with a “needs improvement” or “fails
to achieve expectations/standards” score. There should be evidence of improvement at the time of the next
evaluation. If an overall score of “fails to achieve expectations/standards” is given at any time, a review of the
resident is required to determine whether the resident will continue in his/her program.
