We applied to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for a system that allowed all the clinical training hospital of Iwate Prefecture as co-operative facilities since 2010. As a result, residents were then able to select educating programs of all training hospitals. Due to this change, quality assurance of clinical training hospitals was required, and we began a peer evaluation of all training hospitals in Iwate Prefecture from 2013. Iwate Ihatov working group by doctors and administrative staff in charge of the clinical training hospitals were paired up to perform the peer evaluations. Clinical (Japan Council Evaluation of Postgraduate Clinical Training) training program manager and administrative staff of other hospitals and JCEP Surveyors conducted a visit investigation of peer evaluation. JCEP self-assessment questionnaire was used and, in accordance with the procedure of JCEP, one-day site visit was carried out. Several good efforts of each training hospital were shared, and improvement items were listed in the survey report. After investigation, the auditee license of the Governor was awarded to the auditee hospital. Clinical training evaluation by visiting investigation and confirmation of the standards of training hospitals will improve the quality of training hospitals in Iwate Prefecture. We introduce the background and content of the peer evaluation.
