Overview

Providing effective feedback is a crucial element of medical education. Skillfully delivered feedback offers learners specific insights into their performance, emphasizing strengths, and identifying areas for improvement, which promotes self-awareness and encourages growth. Although physician educators are expected to deliver high-quality feedback, they often lack sufficient training in this area. This session introduces an innovative faculty development program designed to enhance the delivery of impactful and actionable feedback. Participants will engage with a curriculum that presents common medical scenarios enacted by standardized patients (SPs) and standardized residents (SRs). They will practice providing feedback to SRs and receive immediate feedback on their performance. In addition to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of their own feedback conversations, participants will be provided with a blueprint for implementing this curriculum at their home institution. This session will also equip participants with the skills and knowledge needed to create effective case scenarios for use in SP/SR-based feedback training and alternatives for cost-effective SPs/SRs. Participants will leave with practical resources and strategies for putting this faculty development curriculum into practice.
