Rotation Feedback

The rotation supervisor provides feedback to the Intern at the mid-point of the rotation and again at the end of the rotation using the Rotation Feedback form (See Appendices F and G). Each rotation has identified skill areas specific to the rotation (see below), and the informal feedback addresses each of these skill areas. The rotation supervisor reviews the feedback with the Intern, and both sign off on it. The Rotation Feedback form is turned in to the Training Director and shared with the primary supervisors. The feedback provided contributes to the overall mid-year and end of the year Intern evaluations.
