Evaluation
Fellow's performance will be monitored and evaluated throughout the 3-year training program to facilitate the development of comprehensive knowledge base and appropriate technical skillsets. Formal evaluation by supervising faculty at the conclusion of each rotation and annual evaluation with the Program Director will enable the fellows to track and gauge their academic development. Fellows in turn will evaluate faculty to ensure that the training goals are met.
