Methods and Assumptions:
1. There is evaluation data on approximately 120-130 faculty members. Thus, approximately 40 faculty members could be rewarded as a top teacher.
2. In order to be considered for the top 33%, a faculty member had to acquire at least five evaluations from either students or residents during the last year.
3. A separate list of the top 40 teachers with at least four evaluations are compiled from both the students and resident data.
4. If a faculty member was on both the resident top teacher list and the student top teacher list, they were determined to be a "Top Teacher" 13 faculty were on both lists.
5. The remaining faculty members on either of the two list were then placed on a composite list and their student and resident evaluations were compiled for a weighted average. From this composite list an additional 23 faculties were chosen as "Top Teachers."
6. The faculty receiving excellent evaluations for their basic science lectures (Z score>1.0 SD) are also recognized and qualify as a top teacher unless they were on the previous list. Four additional faculty qualified.
