Does Knowledge of Clinical Case Outcome Influence Supervisor Evaluation of Resident Clinical Reasoning?
The study identified outcome bias in the evaluation of GP residents, with adverse clinical outcomes leading to lower scores and more negative, specific, process-focused feedback. Although such feedback can enhance learning, it may also hinder learning by triggering negative emotions. The findings emphasize the educational value of diagnostic errors but stress the need for objective assessment strategies to optimize learning opportunities.
