Welcome to the Summer of 2022 KeyLIME “re run” series! Over the summer months, we will be re-releasing some of our earliest episodes: Give some old favorites a listen or discover some episodes from our archive you may not have heard yet!

This week, in summer re run #10, we replay Episode #154, where we discussed ITERs, (In-Training Evaluation Reports), a fundamental building block of health professions education.  They have been much maligned over the years; however, this article's "assessment supergroup" looks to show us the value of narrative comments in ITERs in a systematic review with "gold standard methods" (as per Jason, today's reviewer.)

Hatala R et al.  Using In-Training Evaluation Report (ITER) Qualitative Comments to Assess Medical Students and Residents: A Systematic Review. Acad Med. 2017; 92(6):868-879.
