Background: Graduate medical education programs often use anonymous virtual comment boxes to elicit feedback from residents, fostering a culture of openness and aligning with ACGME standards.(1,2) These platforms allow residents to express concerns safely and anonymously, promoting trust and transparency. While previous studies highlight their positive impact on wellness, no comprehensive analysis exists regarding their [...]

Background: Trusting relationships between faculty and learners, described as an “educational alliance,” play an important role in constructive feedback. Such relationships can be difficult to achieve in current clinical learning environments (CLEs), which may diminish faculty members’ willingness to give learners feedback that supports their growth and performance. Our study seeks to explore the role [...]

Background: There is no standardized, consistent method for providing and receiving personalized feedback on patient care amongst hospitalists at our institution. The result is that physicians are not aware of areas they could improve in clinical care until either a sentinel event occurs or at the time of their annual review with division leadership. Additionally, [...]

Background: Feedback is critical in medical education, yet its effectiveness is often compromised by suboptimal utilization. Many trainees experience a disconnect between feedback they receive and their self-perceptions, which can inhibit their growth and performance. Common challenges include inconsistencies between evaluative feedback and trainees’ beliefs about their capabilities, concerns regarding the credibility of the feedback [...]

Background: Traditional methods to elicit feedback on clinical decision support (CDS) tools lack specificity and actionable insights necessary to optimize hospitalist workflows and patient care (1,2). Alert fatigue—a significant issue among hospitalists—reduces provider satisfaction and jeopardizes patient safety by prompting clinicians to dismiss critical alerts (3). Purpose: This initiative aimed to implement and evaluate a [...]
