:
: Harvard South Shore Psychiatry Residency Training Program (HSS)’s feedback improvement efforts have been reviewed according to VA Boston Healthcare System (Boston, Massachusetts, USA) procedures and have been determined to be a quality improvement activity that is classified as non-research (per the U.S. Veterans Health Administration Handbook 1058.05), requiring no further oversight by the health system’s research committees. Participation in all aspects of the project was entirely voluntary. Any individual’s decision to participate or not participate was neither documented nor discussed with their supervisors. Verbal consent was obtained from all participants. Written consent was not required by the VA Boston Healthcare System, which classified HSS’ feedback improvement efforts as quality improvement and non-research, hence obligating no further oversight by the health system’s research committees. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
