    Reliability and validity of a new modified in-training evaluation report form: an assessment of the seven canmeds roles
    (2012) Redwan, Hani; Donnon, Tyrone L.
    The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of a newly developed In-Training Evaluation Report (ITER) form with residents at the University of Calgary. A new modified ITER was developed and piloted with Pediatric, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and General Surgery. Reliability and validity of the new modified form in connection to the measurement of residents' seven CanMEDS competencies were investigated using internal consistency and exploratory factor analyses (EFA). The new ITER showed strong internal reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.98. An EFA showed the ITER accounts for 63% of the variance and that item loadings depict a five factor model: 1) medical expert (clinical skills)/communicator, 2) medical expert (knowledge), 3) health advocate, 4) professional/collaborator, and 5) scholar. The new ITER form has high internal reliability, but moderate construct validity. EFA found overlapping item loadings in the assessment of residents' medical expert, communicator, collaborator, and professional roles.
