Effect of an educational intervention on faculty and resident satisfaction with real-time feedback in the emergency department.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Effective real-time feedback is critical to medical education. This study tested the hypothesis that an educational intervention related to feedback would improve emergency medicine (EM) faculty and resident physician satisfaction with feedback.

Methods

This was a cluster-randomized, controlled study of 15 EM residency programs in 2007-2008. An educational intervention was created that combined a feedback curriculum with a card system designed to promote timely, effective feedback. Sites were randomized either to receive the intervention or to continue their current feedback method. All participants completed a Web-based survey before and after the intervention period. The primary outcome was overall feedback satisfaction on a 10-point scale. Additional items addr
