Effective Integration of Feedback in Breast Imaging: A “Guide for the Trainee”

Receiving feedback can sometimes be difficult and uncomfortable but is an essential component of professional development in breast imaging. Trainees have an opportunity to leverage feedback in breast imaging by incorporating self-assessments, real-world patient outcomes, procedural feedback, patient interactions, and available audit data to build confidence and competency in residency and fellowship. We present strategies for seeking and receiving feedback with a growth mindset, including specific scenarios in breast imaging where trainees can incorporate feedback and maximize learning potential.
