Evaluation of clinical faculty: gender and minority implications.
Learner ratings are an important source of data regarding teaching effectiveness. We examine ratings of faculty teaching for the effects of faculty-resident gender and underrepresented minority (URM) status concordance. ⋯ Overall, gender and minority status seem to have a negligible role in residents' evaluations of clinical faculty. However, the apparent beneficial effects for URM-URM pairs need more study.
