Discovering social learning ecosystems during clinical clerkship from United States medical students’ feedback encounters: a content analysis

We examined United States medical students’ self-reported feedback encounters during clerkship training to better understand in situ feedback practices. Specifically, we asked: Who do students receive feedback from, about what, when, where, and how do they use it? We explored whether curricular expectations for preceptors’ written commentary aligned with feedback as it occurs naturalistically in the workplace. This study occurred from July 2021 to February 2022 at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. We used qualitative survey-based experience sampling to gather students’ accounts of their feedback encounters in 8 core specialties.

本研究聚焦美国医学生在临床轮转培训期间自我报告的反馈经历，旨在深入剖析现场反馈的实际实施范式。具体而言，本研究拟解答以下核心议题：医学生的反馈来源为何？反馈所涉内容为何？反馈发生的时间、场景如何？学生又如何运用所获反馈？此外，本研究还探讨了临床带教医师(preceptors)的书面点评课程要求，与临床职场中自然发生的反馈实践是否契合。本研究于2021年7月至2022年2月在南伊利诺伊大学医学院(Southern Illinois University School of Medicine)开展。研究采用基于质性调查的经验抽样法(experience sampling)，收集了医学生在8个核心专科轮转期间的反馈经历自述资料。
