Evaluating a Residency Program Using Reflections of Recent Resident Graduates and their Pediatric Colleagues.

CONCLUSIONS: The ACGME Outcomes Project, which increases the emphasis on educational outcomes in the accreditation of residency education programs, requires programs to provide evidence of its effectiveness in preparing residents for practice. Direct assessment of the competency of our physician graduates in practice using structured interviews of graduates and their practice associates provide useful feedback information to a residency program as part of a comprehensive evaluation plan of our program's curriculum and can be used to direct future educational initiatives of our training program.
