Feedback in Procedure Based Assessment (PBA): Does It Help Trainee Progression?
Author(s): Mothe BS* and Davison IW
Objectives: To investigate the impact of feedback as well as the attitudes and experiences of trainees and trainers regarding Procedure Based Assessment (PBA).
Methods: Initially, one focus group discussion followed by semi-structured interviews was conducted involving higher surgical trainees who are at different levels on their surgical training pathway across 3 United Kingdom (UK) deaneries. Secondly, PBA with audio/video adjuncts was introduced on a trial basis with the help of trainee participants, and these trainees were re-interviewed after they had used the new system. Two trainers were interviewed separately to collect their views on the assessment process, including the contemporaneous/real-time PBA. Individual audio interviews were transcribed, and thematic analysis was conducted after applying open/axial coding.
