Educational audit of postgraduate medical education.
This project examined the academic audit of postgraduate medical education, and went on to research, design and implement an educational audit system for use in Mersey Region, UK. Issues found to be significant included ownership of both standards and results, norming, and the levels of aggregation of data. The project has demonstrated that designing and implementing a system of feedback which is effective and sustainable is feasible, but requires the agreement and support of tutors as to its objectives and use. The resulting system has now been tested across a range of courses and programmes of meetings in Mersey Region, and has been accepted by the Postgraduate Office as the basis for future development.
