No validated standardized measure of instructional quality exists for emergency department (ED) faculty. We sought to 1) Identify specific domains of ED instructional quality; 2) Develop a composite instrument for assessing instructional quality; and 3) Assess the consistency of the instrument over time.<br>Methods: Our setting is an urban level-1 trauma center with a 3-year residency. Residents were asked to rate the quality of faculty member instruction using an 18-item survey twice over a two-year period (2004-2005). Each survey item used a 9-point scale. Factor analysis employing a Varimax rotation identified domains of instructional performance. Chronbach’s Alpha was used to assess the internal consistency of the identified domains.<br>Results: 29 faculty members were evaluated. Using 2004 data, five domains of instructional quality were identified that explained 92.5% of the variation in survey responses (2=2.33, p=.11). These were: Competency and Professionalism (30% of variation), Commitment to Knowledge and Instruction (23%), Inclusion and Interaction (17%), Patient Focus (13%), and Openness to Ideas (9%). Competency and Professionalism included appropriate care, effective patient communication, use of new techniques and ethical principles. Commitment to Knowledge and Instruction included research, mentoring, feedback and availability. Inclusion and Interaction included procedural participation and bedside teaching. Patient Focus included compassion, effective care and sensitivity to diverse populations. Openness to Ideas included enthusiasm and receptivity of new ideas. These five domains were consistent in the 2005 data (Chronbach’s Alpha, 0.675-0.752).<br>Conclusions: A five-domain instrument consistently accounted for variations in faculty teaching performance as rated by resident physicians. This instrument<br>may be a useful tool for standardized assessment of instructional quality.<p> 5 Suppl 1 abstract Academic Emergency Medicine 15 22389 Developing a standardized assessment of instructional quality in a residency program [abstract] 38538 public Education, Medical Emergency Medicine 2024-03-31T22:04:36.528-05:00 document-rn35469 Residency
