343 - The Cardinal APP: Formative Feedback for Medical Trainers and Mentors

Friday, May 24, 2024
4:00 PM - 4:10 PM EST
Location: Exhibit Hall (back left corner of the hall, space 137)
Abstract:

Purpose: Develop an innovative mobile application to facilitate provision of efficient and effective feedback to learners in a clinical setting. The purpose of the App is to improve frequency of feedback provision and specificity and promote self-assessment and reflection in learners through mainstreamed interaction with a mentor using an app platform.


Methods: A key observation was based on categorized interview among end users (learners and feedback providers) to provide real-time feedback. Faculty/ supervisor/ mentor/ preceptor/ chief residents (feedback providers) and student clinicians/ residents (feedback recipients) from medical and dental professional health care programs at UofL were asked to evaluate the prototype. Both users completed a survey using the app, resulting in a brief and meaningful interaction alerting learners and providers of areas where further discussion, coaching and mentorship were needed.


Conclusion: This pilot project was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Cardinal APP – a mobile application to improve delivery of formative feedback in the clinical setting for UofL Medical / Dental School faculty and trainees. The impact of the Cardinal App was assessed using a survey questionnaire that allowed the authors to, in turn, seek feedback regarding the users’ self-assessment. The Cardinal App mobile application enhanced opportunities for more effective and efficient feedback that could be easily initiated by either the provider or learner increasing continuous reflection.
