Performance documentation: how to confirm a resident's progress.
Family medicine faculty members are accountable for the quality of training and the level of proficiency that residents attain. Determination of board certification and hospital privileges is dependent on technical and affective skills as well as cognitive testing. Self-evaluation and self-education behaviors will result from placing the responsibility for documentation of satisfactory performance with the resident. "Performance documentation" is defined as those parts of an evaluation system combining a cumulative record of patient care experiences with proficiency ratings indicating performance at or above the criteria specified in a program's behavioral objectives.
