Giving and Receiving Valuable Feedback
By Shannon M Bennett, DO
The importance of feedback:
Feedback is an integral part of the medical education process. Both learners and educators need to know how to give as well as receive valuable feedback. We all have areas we can improve upon and effective feedback is intended to guide future performance and growth.

Presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, and Prezi are ubiquitous in medical education and the business of healthcare. When used appropriately in a direct presentation format, these tools let educators display visual aids, emphasize key points, and interact with learners to promote their understanding.

The OR is an important teaching environment that presents unique challenges for both preceptor and student. Achieving an effective learning experience in this time sensitive setting with consideration of patient safety is the goal. In addition to modeling professionalism, teamwork and respect, a deliberate and consistent structure to operative teaching can enhance the experience for both learner and teacher.

Definition: “When students from two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.” (WHO, 2010)
IPE is an educational technique. IPE allows learners to gain competency in interprofessional communication and team-based care by participating in collaborative educational sessions. By definition, these sessions must include learners from more than one discipline (i.e. medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, therapy, etc.), but the content and format of the session may vary by setting and level of learners present. Due to logistics, IPE is most frequently done in undergraduate settings, but can be applied to all levels, including continuing education.

The Institute of Medicine and the World Health Organization (among other groups) have encouraged IPE as a way to prepare the medical work force for the collaborative, patient-centered care requisite for healthcare quality and safety.
