Female medical students underestimate their performance on surgery clerkships, despite outperforming male peers. This gender difference in self-assessment may stem from socialization and impacts faculty feedback.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Self-Assessment in Learning
  • Gender Studies in Medicine

Background:

  • Self-assessment is crucial for adult learning but understudied in medical students.
  • Limited data exist on medical students' self-assessment abilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate medical students' self-assessment skills during a third-year surgery clerkship.
  • To compare student self-assessments with faculty evaluations.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty-eight third-year medical students (34 male, 34 female) completed an 11-item competency-based self-assessment.
  • Student self-assessments were compared with identical faculty assessments at the clerkship midpoint.

Main Results:

  • Female students significantly underestimated their performance compared to faculty evaluations (P < 0.05).

  • Male students tended to overestimate performance, but not statistically significantly.
  • Female students statistically outperformed male students on the surgery clerkship (P < 0.05).

    • Conclusions:

    • Female students exhibit lower self-assessment accuracy than male students during surgery clerkships.
    • Gender socialization may contribute to women underreporting capabilities.
    • Recognizing gender differences in self-assessment is vital for effective faculty feedback.
