Journal of Graduate Medical Education
|October 26, 2016
Summary
The Mobile Medical Milestones Application (M3App) improved resident feedback quality and efficiency. Faculty and residents found the tool beneficial, though implementation faced challenges like time constraints.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education Technology
- Clinical Assessment Tools
- Residency Program Evaluation
Background:
- Mobile technology enhances clinical assessment and milestone tracking.
- Developed and piloted the Mobile Medical Milestones Application (M3App) in family medicine residency programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- Examine variations in M3App utilization across residency programs.
- Explore user experiences (program directors, faculty, residents) with the M3App.
- Identify perceived benefits and challenges of implementing the M3App.
Main Methods:
- Administered pre- and post-surveys to residents and faculty.
- Conducted individual interviews with program directors.
- Analyzed qualitative data using the constant comparative method.
Main Results:
- M3App increased data collection, efficiency, and perceived information quality.
- Residents reported timely, high-quality feedback; faculty grew more comfortable with the tool.
- Higher M3App utilization correlated with more favorable evaluations; program directors noted improved faculty knowledge and resident satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- M3App enhanced the quality and efficiency of resident feedback.
- Residents valued the frequency, proximity, and specificity of feedback.
- Implementation challenges included lack of physician champions and faculty time constraints.
