From the Evaluation Sub-Committee: QR Code
You want feedback. Attendings want feedback too. To make sure we’re all getting what we want, the Evaluation Sub-Committee has help create these handy QR codes so that we can provide daily feedback to residents and faculty alike. It can also be found on the Resident tab on the website menu and hardcopies are scattered around both EDs.
Please bookmark this page so you can provide feedback on each shift! We want to encourage a culture where we all improve together, and hopefully these QR codes will make that process easier. Thanks!
