Strengthening the delivery of feedback in medical institutions by establishing feedback culture

Abstract EN

The training imparted to medical students is quite vast and complex, and a lot is expected from them at the end of the overall training.

considering that each student differs from another, it is important to understand that a number of approaches should be adopted to ensure that they continue to learn.

feedback is an integral component of the medical education delivery process and it aids the students as well as teachers in performing better while discharging their roles.

even though the feedback carries immense significance in the teaching-learning or assessment process, it is not being widely practiced in different settings.

in order to ensure successful implementation of a feedback culture, we have to pay attention to three interdependent aspects, namely the teacher, the student, and the environment.

to conclude, feedback is an essential tool to facilitate learning among medical students.

however, this will essentially require us to establish a culture of giving feedback to students in the medical institution and capitalize on each of the learning opportunities for the benefit of students and teachers.
