    In response to curricular reform, a particularly effective new approach was developed for a course offered at all nine IUSM centers. Participants will learn about interdisciplinary planning, implementation of a "Grand Rounds" approach, novel use of audience response system for retrieval practice and formative assessment of teaching methods, and how Bloom scale ratings relate to student engagement and focus.

    Overcoming Barriers to Providing Narrative Feedback in Pre-clinical Medical Education: Design and Implementation of a Comment Builder Tool
    (2023-04-28) Hoffman, Leslie A.; Shere, Helen; Bauer, Erich; Vargo-Gogola, Tracy
    Formative feedback is an essential component of competency based medical education1. This feedback should be individualized, reinforce effective behaviors, and provide actionable strategies for improvement. In the first year Human Structure course at Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM), students complete a two-part assignment to assess the Practice-Based Learning and Improvement competency. Faculty are expected to provide narrative feedback to students on the assignment; however, narrative feedback was not consistently provided to all students in prior years. To lower the barriers to providing feedback, a narrative comment builder tool was developed and implemented. Here we report our experiences with developing and implementing the tool and evaluating ongoing barriers to providing narrative feedback to students.
