Feedback Focused: A Learner- and Teacher-Centered Curriculum to Improve the Feedback Exchange in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Learners consistently report insufficient feedback, despite interventions to improve the quantity and quality of feedback. Effective feedback requires a dynamic partnership and a trusting relationship between students and teachers.

Methods

We developed and implemented a faculty and student program called Feedback Focused on the OB/GYN clerkship with learner- and faculty-centered teaching materials. We evaluated the curriculum's impact on the frequency and quality of feedback exchange through comparison of end-of-clerkship evaluations before and after implementing the Feedback Focused program and assessed student satisfaction from written responses on clerkship evaluations.

Results

A total of 1,912 feedback folio entries were recorded during the curriculum
