How will the auditors describe a departments progress in developing its educational efforts?
There will be no scoring during the pilot. The audit reports will describe the department’s quality processes, highlight areas of strength, and identify areas that need improvement. They will not compare one department with another, although a careful reader may be able to draw conclusions about relative progress. How progress will be reported in future audits has not been decided. There is no one-way, but one common-sense method is to rate programs along the following scale.
