Introduction: Feedback is an important tool that describes an individual's performance in a specific activity. Trainees at all levels grow from feedback exchanges to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes in their specialty. However, there is a dearth of faculty development on providing advanced trainees feedback effectively.
Methods: We designed and delivered internal medicine subspecialty-focused 60- or 90-minute interactive workshop to train faculty to improve feedback exchange with fellows. The workshop included addressing barriers to feedback specific to fellowship, tool and skills for feedback exchange, and case-based skills practice specific to scenarios seen in each subspecialty fellowship program. We utilized surveys of faculty assessing comfort with feedback exchange with fellows before and after the workshop.
Results: We delivered the workshop to two separate specialty sections, gastroenterology and endocrine. Overall, faculty ( = 14) self-reported comfort improved significantly from pretest to posttest ( < .01). Ten participants' comfort ratings increased, while four remained the same at posttest. The evaluation identified several common themes as important learning points including labeling feedback, setting expectations around feedback exchange, and identifying elements of high-quality feedback exchange.
Discussion: This workshop for faculty was designed to improve the skills, knowledge, and attitudes related to feedback exchange specifically within an internal medicine subspecialty fellowship training program. Analysis of pre- and postsurvey data demonstrated increased faculty comfort providing fellows-in-training with feedback.

The insulative properties of soil organic carbon (SOC) and surface organic layers (moss, lichens, litter) regulate surface-atmosphere energy exchanges in the Arctic through a coupling with soil temperatures. However, a physical description of this process is lacking in many climate models, potentially biasing their high-latitude climate predictions. Using a coupled surface-atmosphere model, we identified a strong feedback loop between soil insulation, surface air temperature, and snowfall.

Theory and simulations are used to demonstrate implementation of a variational Bayes algorithm called "active inference" in interacting arrays of nanomagnetic elements. The algorithm requires stochastic elements, and a simplified model based on a magnetic artificial spin ice geometry is used to illustrate how nanomagnets can generate the required random dynamics. Examples of tracking and PID control are demonstrated and shown to be consistent with the original stochastic differential equation formulation of active inference.

Background: There is frequent academic exchange between Switzerland, Germany and Austria, facilitated by the common language. Additionally, the postgraduate training curricula in obstetrics and gynecology show some similarities. We aimed to compare self-perceived level of ability, availability of simulation training and teaching and feedback culture among residents in obstetrics and gynecology in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.

The increase of carbon dioxide (CO) concentration in the atmosphere is held responsible for global climate changes. To meet the objective of achieving carbon neutrality and keeping global warming in check, many cities, as hotspots of CO emissions, have been promoting the use of urban greenery, urban trees in particular, to mitigate carbon emissions from the built environment. However, there remain large uncertainty and divergence of the potential of urban trees for carbon mitigation, with the underlying mechanisms poorly understood.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of digital multidisciplinary conferences (MDCs) in preventing imaging-related quality management (QM) events during the coronavirus-disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID-19 challenged interdisciplinary exchange and QM measures for patient safety. Regular MDCs between radiologists and intensive care unit (ICU) physicians, introduced in our hospital in 2018, enable re-evaluation of imaging examinations and bilateral feedback.
