Relationship-Centered Feedback
(LCI Annual Meeting 2020)
Presenters: Lars Osterberg, Stanford Medicine; Lexi Doyle, Stanford Medicine; Ben Schwarz; Stanford Medicine; Christine Xu, Stanford Medicine
Giving effective feedback to learners is an essential skill for medical educators. If done well, it can build a relationship and can inspire learners to improve. If done poorly, it can fracture a relationship and demoralize learners. This video describes a model of delivering feedback and provides key principles for educators and learning community mentors to consider when providing feedback to their learners.
