Feedback for One, Learning for All: Giving Feedback to Learners in Front of Their Peers

Small group educational structures are growing in popularity in medical education. For example, numerous medical schools across the country have adopted models of longitudinal education rooted in small group instruction and multiple domains of clinical medical education occur in small group settings (rounds, clinics, etc.) These small group environments represent important opportunities with unique challenges for facilitators to provide feedback to learners and participants in the small group setting. This workshop is designed to train participants in the art of providing feedback to learners in the small group setting in front of their peers. Presenters will review key pieces of feedback literature with an emphasis on assessing when it is most appropriate to give feedback to a learner in front of their peers, how to elicit the thoughts/feelings of the learner, and how to construct and craft the feedback.
