One of the most challenging roles for both academic and clinical faculty is providing feedback to students. From an educational standpoint, feedback is vital to guiding the student in developing an accurate evaluation of their clinical and professional skills so they can make appropriate adjustments to be successful. Without effective feedback, the student does not have the ability to determine if their skills meet the required standards of the profession. Although academic and clinical faculty have been trained in their clinical skills, sometimes the skill of providing effective feedback to students is lacking. Recognizing student communication styles must also be assessed to create a successful environment to provide effective feedback. The lack of knowledge in effective strategies to provide effective feedback to students can create a frustrating learning environment for both the student and the academic or clinical faculty. The purpose of this course is to provide clinical and academic faculty with strategies for providing effective feedback to students in both the clinical and classroom environment.
Learning Objectives:
- the participant will identify evidence-based feedback strategies to promote successful student progression.
- the participant will examine communication strategies for the physical therapy student to improve ability to provide effective feedback.
- the participant will formulate strategies for implementation of effective student feedback within an academic and/or clinical setting.
