Abstract
Corporate studies have consistently shown that millennials prefer more frequent and detailed feedback in the workplace. With most dermatology residents fitting the description of a millennial, we sought to study their preferences in feedback and then compare this to current feedback practices and cultures. Our study supports that residents prefer more frequent informal feedback, especially compared with residency program directors. We also showed a desire for formal feedback training programs, which can help to overcome some of the noted barriers to providing feedback. Building a strong, positive, and open feedback culture can help to set the stage for giving and receiving constructive feedback in a safe environment. The results of this study can help to improve residency training moving forward.
