Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Feedback is at the core of competency-based medical education. Learner perceptions of the evaluation process influence how feedback is utilized. Systems emphasize a fixed mindset, prioritizing evaluation over growth. Embracing growth mindset culture, the belief that ability is acquired through effort and human capabilities can be developed over time, will allow learners to gain greater benefits from feedback. Transitioning from fixed mindset language (FML) to growth mindset language (GML) will require faculty training. Artificial intelligence (AI) can assist faculty with incorporating GML concepts in written feedback. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of AI to assist in changing FML feedback statements into statements with GML.
