Internal Medicine Survey

Dear Internal Medicine Resident or Attending:

As a resident or attending who has worked closely with current third year medical students on their Internal Medicne Clerkships, I am inviting you to participate in a research study I am conducting on the perception of the current evaluative feedback system in the Internal Medicine Clerkship at Wright State. Because you are a current resident or attending who has worked with and evaluated medical students, you are being invited to participate by completing this survey. Participation is voluntary, and your responses to these questions will be kept anonymous. Your consent to participate is implied by your completion of the online survey. The anticipated length of time to complete this survey is: 3 minutes. There are no known risks to this research study, and you will receive no direct benefit from completing this survey; indirect benefits may include self-reflection upon and potential future improvements within the current evaluative feedback system. There will be no follow-up survey, and you are free to terminate your participation at any time and without prejudice. You may choose to not answer any or all questions.
