Objective: To evaluate the quality of clinical teaching in residency training in a tertiary care hospital.
Materials and Methods: The research was conducted in Mardan Medical Complex, Mardan. The study lasted two months, and the participants were enrolled using the simple purposive sampling technique. This prospective cross-sectional study used a validated “EFFECT” questionnaire divided into seven domains containing 58 items. The questionnaire was distributed among the postgraduate trainees of different specialties of the FCPS program, excluding other specialty programs (MS/MD/MCPS), through an online Google form. The data was analyzed using Excel 2022 software.
Results: The number of residents who participated was 89. 71 (80%) were male and 18 (20%) females. The mean age was 29 years. Overall, the residents' perception of their supervisors was good. Few items were scored satisfactory by the residents. The results were also analyzed between four subgroups of the participants: male/female, senior (years 3-5)/junior (years 1-2) residents, medical & allied and surgical & allied residents, and senior (above 50 years age) and junior (below 50 years age) teachers. Significant (P value<0.05) differences were identified among the sub-group responses in different domains.
Conclusion: Overall, the residents' perceptions of their clinical teachers are good. However, there is room for improvement in multiple domains, and some parts of the teaching require special considerations.
