Evaluations The primary supervisors are responsible for completing the interns’ evaluations in collaboration with the rest of the training faculty. There are four evaluations, one each quarter. All efforts are made to provide ongoing feedback to interns throughout the year. Interns also are required to evaluate their supervisors once each quarter. In addition, they are required to evaluate the training program twice per year, through an online anonymous survey sent at mid-year and end of year.

Grievances Any problem should be addressed with the intern's primary supervisor. If the problem cannot be resolved, then this matter should be taken up by the training director. A Policy and Procedures manual provides a lengthy description of grievances procedures, and is available to the interns online at all times.
