Integration of Patient Feedback in Family Medicine Residency Programs: A CERA Study

The study investigates how family medicine residency programs incorporate patient feedback into training and its perceived impact on residents' preparedness for independent practice. While a majority of program directors recognize the benefits of patient feedback for improving morale, quality of care, and communication skills, significant gaps remain in the implementation of structured curricula and faculty development related to patient feedback. The findings suggest an opportunity to enhance residency training by better integrating patient feedback mechanisms.
