Improving feedback literacy in a primary care rotation

Primary care education is a unique clinical experience for medical students. It is community-based and provides an opportunity for students to learn consultation skills with multiple sources of workplace-based feedback. Meaningful and demonstrable utilisation of this feedback by students remains an educational challenge. We showcase achievable changes to educational tasks in an established curriculum, which aim to improve student feedback literacy and create a feedback loop which improves on previous provision of unidirectional, terminal feedback. The changes have been well-received, with student and educator engagement being positive. Students have demonstrated critical reflection on feedback, and development in consultation and clinical reasoning skills.
