Abstract
IntroductionFeedback is an important tool that describes an individual's performance in a specific activity. Trainees at all levels grow from feedback exchanges to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes in their specialty. However, there is a dearth of faculty development on providing advanced trainees feedback effectively.MethodsWe designed and delivered internal medicine subspecialty-focused 60- or 90-minute interactive workshop to train faculty to improve feedback exchange with fellows. The workshop included addressing barriers to feedback specific to fellowship, tool and skills for feedback exchange, and case-based skills practice specific to scenarios seen in each subspecialty fellowship program. We utilized surveys of faculty assessing comfort with feedback exchange with fellows before and after the workshop.ResultsWe delivered the workshop to two separate specialty sections, gastroenterology and endocrine. Overall, faculty (N = 14) self-reported comfort improved significantly from pretest to posttest (p < .01). Ten participants’ comfort ratings increased, while four remained the same at posttest. The evaluation identified several common themes as important learning points including labeling feedback, setting expectations around feedback exchange, and identifying elements of high-quality feedback exchange.DiscussionThis workshop for faculty was designed to improve the skills, knowledge, and attitudes related to feedback exchange specifically within an internal medicine subspecialty fellowship training program. Analysis of pre- and postsurvey data demonstrated increased faculty comfort providing fellows-in-training with feedback.
