Today are going to dive into the topic of providing feedback in medical education. Today I thought it would be a good time to review this topic, including how we define feedback in the clinical context, the guidelines on how best to provide feedback to our learners and also some of the barriers that we encounter around this process. Joining me to discuss this topic is one of our local experts in adult education Dr Emily Green, PhD, MA. Dr Green is the Assistant Dean for faculty development here at The Warren Alpert medical school at Brown university.
