The value of assessment & constructive feedback

The value of assessment & constructive feedback

Two teaching hospitals representing Toronto, Canada and Glostrup, Denmark collaborated in a study on effects of assessment and constructive feedback.

A group of 16 surgical trainees were split into two groups.  Each group performed the same surgical procedure.  Their efforts were videotaped.  Group 1 was assessed by an experienced surgeon, and specific advice was provided to each trainee.  Group 2 received no response on their performance.

The same two teams later performed the same procedure and were videotaped.  The tapes were then assessed by two independent and blinded observers using a validated scoring method.  The results were amazing (and obvious):

"Surgeons who received constructive feedback made significantly greater improvement in their performance...compared to those (who received no feedback)."

Team exercise:

  • "Why do we often hesitate to ask for feedback from our peers?"
  • "Do you receive sufficient feedback on your performance from your peers?"
  • "Do you receive sufficient feedback on your performance from your manager?"
