Optimizing Video Communication Assessment for Teaching Error Disclosure Skills

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Error Disclosure

In brief

The goal of this randomized, single-blinded, educational study is to test the effect of providing crowdsourced ratings and feedback to second-year (PGY2) internal medicine (IM) and family medicine (FM) resident physicians' about their adverse event communication skills. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Is the intervention of providing reports with personal performance feedback and recommendations for effective error disclosure associated with higher ratings of resident error disclosure skills? Participants will perform simulated error disclosure with a software tool called the Video-based Communication Assessment (VCA). Participants will be randomized to receive feedback reports (intervention) or not (control). Participants receiving the intervention will be asked to review their feedback and all participants will use the VCA again approximately 4 weeks later with different patient cases.
