Feedback under Fire: An Evidence-Based Medicine Guide on Effective Teaching in the Emergency Department (Education Committee Sponsored)

Feedback is integral to learning. However, just because we give feedback doesn’t mean learners will identify it as feedback or actually incorporate it into practice. In this session, we will highlight evidence-based best practice recommendations on feedback and apply this in practice. Participants will get to practice techniques through role play and debriefing in order to incorporate skills into their clinical practice.
