In this episode, Doc Mac breaks down the five essential data points you need to assess a resident’s baseline performance before launching any remediation effort. If your plan is starting with “low vibes” or one bad eval, hit pause—because that’s not data, and it’s definitely not enough. This episode walks you through exactly what to gather, how to spot gaps, and why a strong foundation is non-negotiable. What You’ll Learn: • The 4 categories of strong baseline data—plus the bonus one most programs forget • Why direct observation is still king (and how to make it count) • What faculty gut feelings do—and don’t—tell you • How to use self-assessment to reveal blind spots and insight gaps “If you wouldn’t build a treatment plan without labs, don’t build a remediation plan without baseline data.” 🎧 Need a stronger foundation for your remediation process? → Download the free intro lesson of the ELEVATE: Remediation Fast Track course → Or take the Remediation Risk Assessment at www.docmaclearning.com
