Learning Objective 1: Describe how to give audio feedback to improve clinical and course performance.

Learning Objective 2: Discuss advantages and disadvantages of using audio feedback to improve student work in clinical and courses.

Both students and faculty find it helpful to have face-to-face dialogue regarding their work. This is a challenge to schedule adequate time to spend with each student. Faculty designed this pilot study to respond to student input related to how they learn from dialogue with faculty during clinical practice and other course work. In addition to written feedback on their weekly clinical preparation and other written assignments, faculty will supplement written feedback with verbal feedback using a MP3 format. This will allow students to hear feedback that might not be written on their assignments and to hear the clinical reasoning skills the faculty use when reviewing clinical data and written assignments. This presentation will share faculty perspectives and lessons learned.
