Is there an association between nurse, clinical teacher and peer feedback for trainee doctors' medical specialty choice? An observational study in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study explored whether there is an association between medical trainees' future specialty choices and the 360-degree feedback they receive. We hypothesised that the higher the scores that teachers, trainees and/or nurses give to postgraduate year 1s (PGY1s) in any given specialty, the more likely that they will choose that specialty for their residency.

Setting

The study was conducted in a large regional teaching hospital in Taiwan.

Participants

The participants of this study were n=66 PGY1s who had completed their medical studies domestically or internationally and had received their PGY1 training in a single teaching hospital in southern Taiwan. Data from 990 assessments were included.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Logistic regression
