Peer assisted feedback: a successful approach for providing feedback on United States Medical Licensing Exam-style clinical skills exam notes in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Peer assisted learning (PAL) promotes the development of communication, facilitates improvement of clinical skills, and provides feedback to learners. We utilized PAL as a conceptual framework to explore the feasibility of peer-assisted feedback (PAF) to improve note writing skills without requiring faculty time. The aim was to assess if peer assisted learning was a successful method to provide feedback on USMLE-style clinical skills exam notes by using student feedback on a survey in the United States.

Methods

The University of Florida College of Medicine administers clinical skills examinations (CSEs) includes USMLE-like note-writing. PAL, where students support the learning of peers, was utilized as an alternative to faculty feedback. Second (MS2) and third (MS3)
