Background:
Health professions trainee feedback rarely includes the patient voice, despite patients being experts in their own experience. Research supports including the patient voice; however, literature on the value of in-practice patient feedback is lacking.
Activity:
A form was designed and implemented for patients to evaluate dietetic interns teaching a group class. Interns were surveyed to provide feedback.
Results:
Interns reported finding the feedback valuable and unique. The evaluations were felt to be credible.
Discussion:
Results support engaging patients in feedback for dietetic interns. Research should address different contexts, competencies other than communication and professionalism, and the impact to patients.
