title: How to … be an active appraiser.
abstract: Being an active appraiser is very challenging in terms of knowing a doctor's work well enough to appraise them effectively. It also requires a set of skills that need to be developed and applied well in a complex system and in the context of an individual doctor's career development. Being 'active' means bringing these skills and principles together.
