Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Skills Assessment

Background:

  • Student satisfaction with feedback is crucial for academic motivation and performance enhancement.
  • Effective feedback mechanisms are vital in medical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an encounter card system on medical student satisfaction with the feedback process.
  • To assess changes in student perception of clinical skill development following feedback intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Third-year medical students utilized an encounter card system for soliciting faculty, fellow, and resident feedback during a 12-week surgery clerkship.
  • Intervention group evaluations were compared to a historical control group using seven feedback-related items and statistical significance testing.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The encounter card system demonstrated effect sizes greater than 0.30 for all seven feedback items assessed.
  • Statistically significant improvements in feedback-related scores were observed for six out of seven items when comparing the intervention and control groups.

Conclusions:

  • The implementation of an encounter card system effectively enhanced student satisfaction with the feedback process in medical education.
  • Students in the intervention group reported improved understanding of core clinical skills, including history-taking, physical examination, and decision-making.
