Summary
Data supporting the importance of feedback in medical education has increased since the 1980s1 and education research has established that feedback is crucial to improvements in trainee performance, professionalism, documentation, and communication skills.[2,3,4] supervisors continue to experience barriers to delivering feedback to trainees This inability to deliver effective feedback hinders the learning experience but may even negatively impact the mental health of trainees.[5] We sought to review feedback research, identify the most common feedback barriers experienced, and generate evidence-based solutions for each barrier.
