In-training evaluation (ITE) is the process of observing and systematically documenting the ongoing performance of a learner in real clinical settings during a specific period of training. Clinical performance (what the learner does) is in part a consequence of competency (what the learner knows) but is also influenced by other variables. 1–3 In-training evaluation may include the assessment of competencies, such as knowledge or the acquisition and development of skills. It also includes the assessment of performance behaviors resulting from these competencies. 4–8 Behaviors that should develop and mature during clinical training, such as professionalism, are most appropriately evaluated during clinical interactions. 9Objective competency-based assessment methods should be considered as part of any system of in-training evaluation and include written examinations, objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) using standardized patients, formal or structured oral examinations, and chart-stimulated recall assessment. 10 Performance-based methods of in-training assessment include the introduction of standardized patients into daily clinical activity, videotaped patient encounters, chart review, log books, and rating forms used to document observed behaviors. Most techniques used in evaluating residents are quantitative in nature, but qualitative evaluations (such as field notes) are also of value. 10
