Abstract
Videotaped consultations are now widely used as a means of providing feedback to medical graduates and undergraduates. Their aim is to increase self‐awareness of performance and, thereby, enhance motivation for improvement. Central to the success of this educational intervention is the ability of learners to self‐evaluate their own performance. In this study, self‐evaluation scores of trainee postgraduate general practitioners were recorded during two video debriefing sessions at the beginning and end of a 3‐month supervised general‐practice attachment. Self‐evaluation was demonstrated to be influenced by self‐observation and receipt of feedback, indicating that self‐awareness was increased. A major benefit of experiencing video review based on self‐evaluation may be that it provides training in self‐evaluation. The ability to realistically self‐evaluate may facilitate self‐directed learning and be an important factor contributing toward maintaining competence throughout a demanding career.
