These sessions allow opportunities for incremental change to occur. Pay particular attention to performance during the first few days to identify problems that may respond to feedback. Then provide corrective feedback where opportunities to improve exist. Anticipate the normal human tendency to respond with some degree of emotion. For feedback to be effective, the learner must be able to accept it.
Feedback needs to be checked for clear understanding.
Recommend ways to improve. Informing residents that they are lost on the road to academic success is useless unless we show them where they are, where they want to be, and how they can get there.
