Office of Measurement and Evaluation

The mission of the Office of Measurement and Evaluation (OME) is to consult with faculty, residents and students and provide assessment of undergraduate and graduate medical education outcomes. The OME provides reports on course and faculty evaluations, student performance, and institutional surveys. The OME will collaborate on and provide analytical support for medical education projects for peer-reviewed conference presentations and journal publications.

Faculty and Residents

Provide consultation on program evaluation using multi-method approaches, which includes quantitative and qualitative design.

Student Pathways

Assist students with methodological and analytical support on Pathways projects.

Evaluation

Create and manage all student performance, faculty, and course evaluations and generate reports based on the outcomes for departments and committees.

Psychometrics

Provide expertise for creating and implementing reliable and validated instruments using item response theory, factor analysis, categorical data analysis, and general/generalized linear models which increases the quality of examination and survey data.

Scholarship

Make original and collaborative contributions to the field of medical education through authorship of peer-reviewed journal articles and international, national and regional conference presentations.

Mixed-methods studies which require integrated elements of quantitative and qualitative analysis will be completed by the independent project analytical division (IPAD) which is an interdepartmental collaboration of OME and qualitative analysts.
