At the end of the rotation, the attending physician will receive a “New Innovation” formal evaluation
form by e‐mail and will complete this evaluation within a reasonable time. The New innovation
evaluation form allows documentation of the fellow competency (competencies: patient care,
medical knowledge, professionalism, and interpersonal and communication skills). The evaluation
should be discussed with the fellow at the end of the rotation.
Fellows document milestones of their training: interesting cases, presentations, unusual or new
situation faced on the service, etc. in their portfolios. They will also complete an attending evaluation
trough New Innovations.
Medical students and residents rotating on the service complete an evaluation of the fellow’s teaching
abilities adapted from the ACGME toolbox.
