AME Peer Review of Teaching Program

Grow through supportive, collegial feedback with the AME Peer Review of Teaching Program. This program offers faculty the opportunity to receive observation, coaching, and constructive feedback across a variety of teaching settings – large and small group classroom teaching as well as teaching in clinical settings. Learn more about the process, request a review, or refer a colleague – AME membership is not required to participate.

AME members serve as peer reviewers who are partnered with teachers in a formative process that involves several steps.

  • First, the teacher and reviewer meet prior to the session to review objectives and educational materials.
  • Second, the reviewer observes the teaching session and completes an evaluation.
  • Third, the teacher and reviewer meet after the session for a debriefing to discuss strengths and areas in need of improvement. The reviewer works with the teacher to develop an improvement strategy and makes recommendations for additional faculty development.
