The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) Precepting Performance Improvement Program allows academic units (Sponsors) to offer Performance Improvement credit (MOC IV) to family physicians who teach medical students or residents and who participate in a teaching improvement activity.
In support of this, the interactive online self-assessment tool allows preceptors to self-identify their teaching competency areas and highlight areas of interest for future improvement. The results from the self-assessment tool contain links to faculty development content on TeachingPhysician.org. Preceptors can do this for their own benefit, or in an effort to fulfill the requirements of the Performance Improvement credit. The results of the self-assessment are private, and you need only share them with your institution if you choose to.
Learning how to receive feedback is a critical component of your learner’s education. By role modeling feedback, you can help help strengthen interprofessional team dynamics in the clinical setting. This can even have far-reaching implications for patient safety.
You can demonstrate an openness to feedback by explicitly inviting a learner to give you feedback. Follow this up by acting upon that feedback in a visible and meaningful way. Giving and receiving feedback is a skill that learners will gradually acquire over time as they become leaders in the profession. Through your example, you can model effective, collaborative feedback and show your learner how it can be a positive force in their own clinic.
