OBJECTIVE: Accurate and timely evaluation of resident performance is an essential part of a high-quality residency training program. To augment a periodic attending staff round-table discussion of each resident, a computerized resident evaluation software program has been used at our institution. CONCLUSION: Resident grading software not only provides more efficient data collection but also minimizes group influence bias and provides a wealth of statistical data on both individual residents and program sections. Data entry can be performed on a Windows NT networked IBM-compatible computer in each staff members' office at any convenient time. A previously time-consuming task has been transformed into a sophisticated, quick evaluation process with greater reliability, more meaningful and quantifiable data, and more simplified reporting mechanisms.
