  • Title: Evaluation of clinical faculty: gender and minority implications.
    Author: McOwen KS, Bellini LM, Guerra CE, Shea JA.
    Journal: Acad Med; 2007 Oct; 82(10 Suppl):S94-6. PubMed ID: 17895702.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Learner ratings are an important source of data regarding teaching effectiveness. We examine ratings of faculty teaching for the effects of faculty-resident gender and underrepresented minority (URM) status concordance. METHOD: Factorial ANOVAS and t tests were used to examine gender and URM status in 10,443 teaching effectiveness evaluations for 720 faculty members, provided by 516 residents across 18 clinical departments. RESULTS: Significant interaction effects were found for gender (P < .001) and URM status (P < .05) on the individual evaluation record level. Analyses of faculty-level data showed effect sizes were small except for large positive effects for URM faculty evaluated by URM residents (ES = 0.61). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, gender and minority status seem to have a negligible role in residents' evaluations of clinical faculty. However, the apparent beneficial effects for URM-URM pairs need more study.
