- Abstract
The exchange of feedback between learner and teacher is a critical component of medical education. Effective feedback allows for sustained performance improvement over the continuum of training. Despite the importance of feedback in the development and growth of medical learners, the skillful provision and delivery of feedback remains a daunting task for most medical educators. Medical educators are often poorly trained to deliver effective feedback and suffer from a lack of education in feedback theory. Additionally, educators must also recognize and remove barriers to effective feedback exchange. Institutional culture and learner expectations further complicate the feedback conversation. This review seeks to provide a brief background on feedback theory in the medical education environment. Furthermore, characteristics of ideal feedback, barriers to feedback delivery, and tips and techniques for more effective feedback exchange are discussed. The role of the learning environment culture on feedback exchange is also explored. Effective feedback exchange in medical education remains a complex and difficult goal in the clinical environment. Nonetheless, the content of this review article may help improve feedback exchange in many clinical learning environments.
