Peer observation of teaching is a valuable source of feedback to faculty. It can promote a dialog between the observer and teacher with a resultant increase in quality of teaching and learning. In some cases, peer evaluation is a necessary component of the promotion portfolio.
The Department of Medicine Education Committee developed checklists for all teachers, using both the current literature and other validated forms.
To request peer evaluation from a DOM faculty member, email Madeline McLaughlin at mclaughlin@medicine.wisc.edu.
