"In-the-moment" feedback: a novel app for clinical teaching evaluations

Encounter-based teaching is vital to medical education, however feedback can be difficult to obtain. We developed and evaluated a web-based application (app) called "myTeachingEvaluation" (myTE.org^TM). Thirty-four academic clinical teachers completed a needs assessment survey, and 47% (16/34) of participants reported that 50% or more of their teaching was undocumented. We invited participants to pilot myTE.org^™ over eight weeks. Thirteen faculty piloted the app and 62% (8/13) reported the app enabled documentation of 50% or more of previously undocumented teaching. myTE.org^TM app complements the pre-existing infrastructure for clinical teachers to obtain real-time teaching feedback.
