In-training assessment reports (ITARs) summarize assessment during a clinical placement to inform decision-making and provide formal feedback to learners. Faculty development is an effective but resource-intensive means of improving the quality of completed ITARs. We examined whether the quality of completed ITARs could be improved by 'nudges' from the format of ITAR forms. ⋯ Nudge interventions, which are inexpensive and feasible, should be included in multipronged approaches to improve the quality of assessment reports.
