The Effects of Feedback Fatigue and Sex Disparities in Medical Student Feedback Assessed Using a Minute Feedback System

The MFS is a novel tool for feedback used by nearly all M3 students during their surgery clerkship at our institution. Evaluation of response rates demonstrated feedback fatigue, especially among women faculty and residents. Feedback fatigue was more likely to affect male students, although the reason for this is unclear. Further analysis is necessary to understand this sex-associated response disparity and its effect on student feedback in the learning environment.
