Abstract
Feedback in medical education has traditionally showcased techniques and skills of giving feedback, and models used in staff development have focused on feedback providers (teachers) not receivers (learners). More recent definitions have questioned this approach, arguing that the impact of feedback lies in learner acceptance and assimilation of feedback with improvement in practice and professional growth. Over the last decade, research findings have emphasized that feedback conversations are complex interpersonal interactions influenced by a multitude of sociocultural factors. However, feedback culture is a concept that is challenging to define, thus strategies to enhance culture are difficult to pin down. In this twelve tips paper, we have attempted to define elements that constitute a feedback culture from four different perspectives and describe distinct strategies that can be used to foster a learning culture with a growth mind-set.Keywords
