Abstract:
This article proposes a paradigm shift from the competency-based model of clerkship feedback using checklists to a coaching-based, action plan-oriented process that centers on individualized student-oriented goals. Using a student perspective, the authors examine the feedback literature and put forward a proposal to use an impact model whose emphasis is to improve the learning climate for students. Several techniques are reviewed which include goal generation and creation of dynamic action plans. By intentionally focusing on coaching relationships as a platform for feedback, the learners and mentors share goals and the result of feedback becomes action-based behaviors which may help negate personal attribution and bias in the feedback process.
