Become a CPME Residency
Program Evaluator
One of the most important components of the
CPME residency approval process is the team site
visit. The site visit is a peer-review process that helps
to enhance the quality of education by assessing
a program's compliance with CPME standards and
requirements. CPME is committed to ensuring each
evaluator possesses appropriate experience and
skills essential to the evaluation process. CPME residency
evaluators must be certified by one or both
of the specialty boards recognized by CPME and
should be either program directors or active faculty
members of CPME-approved residencies.
Prior to participating as a member of a team,
evaluators complete a training program and are
assigned to a team as trainees under the tutelage
of the team chair and the specialty board representatives.
The council pays all expenses incurred
during the site visit and a per diem for each travel
and on-site visit day. Individuals interested in
becoming residency evaluators should submit a
letter of interest and current curriculum vitae to
the executive director of their CPME-recognized
certifying board(s).
If you are interested in learning more about
CPME's residency evaluator responsibilities,
please review the ABPM and ABFAS-certified
evaluator criteria, which can be found at www.
cpme.org/residencyevaluators. Feel free
to provide this information to interested and
qualified individuals within and outside of your
institution or organization.
