Faculty Self-Evaluation of Experiences with Delivering Feedback to Trainees Across Academic Ranks.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ability to provide feedback is a developable faculty skill; however, it is unclear how academic rank impacts experiences with feedback delivery.

Methods

A survey was distributed to 1258 physicians of all academic ranks at a large academic medical center. Questions explored the respondent's feedback delivery beliefs and barriers.

Results

In total, 96% of respondents agreed feedback is important to resident education. Higher academic rank correlated with increased comfort with feedback delivery, and 89% of respondents experienced at least 1 barrier to feedback delivery.

Conclusion

Feedback experiences vary across academic ranks, with full professors being more comfortable with feedback delivery and less likely to experience barriers.
