Medical educators increasingly champion holistic review. However, in U.S.

Improving Formative Feedback in the Operating Room Setting: Developing and Implementing an Initiative to Improve Feedback Quality and Culture.

Problem: Formative feedback, given in an ongoing fashion during the learning process, is fundamental to clinical education. However, dissatisfaction with formative feedback among residents is common. Difficulties with formative feedback are intensified in the operating room (OR) setting due to fast pace, space limitations, and frequent rotation of residents and attendings.

Patient Involvement in Anesthesia Decision-making: A Qualitative Study of Knee Arthroplasty.

Background: Calls to better involve patients in decisions about anesthesia-e.g., through shared decision-making-are intensifying.

The role of the interview in residency selection: A mixed-methods study.

Context: Residency programmes invest considerable time and resources in candidate interviews as a result of their perceived ability to reveal important social traits. However, studies examining the ability of interviews to predict resident performance have shown mixed findings, and the role of the interview in candidate evaluation remains unclear. This mixed-methods study, conducted in an anaesthesiology residency programme at a large academic medical centre, examined how interviews contributed to candidate assessment and whether the addition of behavioural questions to interviews altered their role in the evaluation process.
