Abstract

The 360-degree assessment is a new paradigm in medical evaluation in which a trainee is evaluated by multiple people in his or her sphere of influence. Evaluators measure identical parameters using the same rating scale, with an additional subset of uniquely designed items to capture areas particular to certain groups. This tool can help to identify differences between the trainee's self-assessment and ratings by other evaluators. Recent studies have shown that the 360-degree assessment is a reliable and valid instrument to improve physician performance. In addition, 360-degree feedback has been shown to provide training programs with a reproducible, quantifiable tool to assess the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (AGCME) competencies of their trainees. This review describes a step-by-step process outlining this new paradigm of trainee assessment. Although further research is necessary, studies thus far reveal that with thoughtful planning and implementation, the 360-degree assessment tool provides trainees with constructive feedback to elevate the level of patient care.
