Observational StudyImpact of peer feedback on the performance of lecturers in emergency medicine: a prospective observational study.
Although it is often criticised, the lecture remains a fundamental part of medical training because it is an economical and efficient method for teaching both factual and experimental knowledge. However, if administered incorrectly, it can be boring and useless. Feedback from peers is increasingly recognized as an effective method of encouraging self-reflection and continuing professional development. The aim of this observational study is to analyse the impact of written peer feedback on the performance of lecturers in an emergency medicine lecture series for undergraduate students. ⋯ This study demonstrates the significant impact of a single standardized written peer feedback on a lecturer's performance.
