Abstract:
Our previous study concerning evaluation methods of postgraduate clinical training showed a usefulness in improving clinical training, especially in the fields of clinical skills and knowledge. However, it also pointed out the unsolved problem of assessment of those behaviors in which no significant differences were shown throughout the residency period. In order to solve this problem, a feedback system has been introduced, consisting of self-evaluation during the residensy, and appropriate counseling regarding hortcomings.
In the present study, the effect of this feedback system on clinical training, particularly on physician behavior, has been analyzed. The study was performed by comparing evaluation scores, based on a five-point scale, from two groups: 35 residents who did not undergo the feedback system, and 84 residents who had. Clinical skills, knowledge, positiveness, behavior with patients and colleagues, and patients' records, were each evaluated after discussions by the teaching staff.
Our results showed that there was a significant improvement not only in clinical skills and knowledge, but also in physician behavior in the group using the feedback system. Thus, it appears that this feedback system is useful in improving postgraduate clinical training.
