Feedback in medical teaching

Abstract

Feedback is the act of communicating information to students about their performance in clinical practice in order to modify their behavior so to achieve a learning. To carry out this activity requires the training of teachers and the preparation of students, as well as programming along the courses and the investment of time and effort. There is evidence of the numerous benefits of feedback. The experience of the use of feedback is presented in an undergraduate course in a faculty of medicine in our country.
