TSDA evaluation forms are provided as a resource for cardiothoracic surgery program directors, program coordinators, faculty, and residents. Evaluation forms can be used to meet Residency Review Committee (RRC) guidelines for evaluating residents, faculty, and the program as a whole. Programs are responsible for maintaining and filing all relevant documents and evaluations; TSDA does not maintain individual program files.
