Fellowship Multisource Feedback: A Resource From Obstetric Anesthesiology
Abstract The transition from resident to faculty represents a tremendous opportunity for growth. Fellowships are often designed to fill this gap, not only by providing upper level training in a specific field but also by addressing the transition to faculty member or senior clinician. In recent lite...

| description | Abstract The transition from resident to faculty represents a tremendous opportunity for growth. Fellowships are often designed to fill this gap, not only by providing upper level training in a specific field but also by addressing the transition to faculty member or senior clinician. In recent literature, multisource feedback to residents and practicing clinicians has attempted to assist with practitioner development, but the key time of fellowship has been largely neglected. Explanations for this may include that many fellowships are small, have no benchmark exams, and have limited faculty, making any kind of evaluation difficult during fellowship. Multisource feedback uniquely addresses the above issues. It has been used for formative evaluation, offering feedback and guides to shape improvement and development into senior clinicians. It can be adapted to the specific goals of individual fellowships and can be effective with only a few evaluators from different backgrounds. This obstetric anesthesiology multisource feedback tool provides an example for how similar tools could be developed for any fellowship. It provides general feedback for the ACGME competencies but also suggestions for key, unique items specific to OB-anesthesia fellows. It can be used in either an online or paper format and provides feedback from all major evaluation sources: nursing, residents, and faculty from both anesthesiology and related fields. While simple to fill out, the tool is somewhat time consuming, requiring 15 minutes or more to complete. Confirmation of effectiveness is difficult to obtain with a subjective tool in a fellowship with only one fellow per year. We can state, however, that there was rater agreement of fellow competence across evaluators. Additionally, when evaluation results were discussed with fellows, there was agreement between fellow self-assessment and the multisource feedback results. |
