Feedback to Teachers
The Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) Program strives to provide faculty with feedback from students on their teaching. Where possible, we recommend that you integrate both giving and receiving feedback into your teaching session. This will help you reflect on the session while it is fresh and guide your planning as you continue to teach.
Receiving Feedback
Through a more formal process, all UBC learners provide feedback to teachers at the end of a required learning experience, such as a clinical rotation or a cluster of small group sessions. Using forms appropriate for the teaching activity (clinical, large group/academic session or small group), learners provide both a rating of their experience and narrative comments. To limit student survey burden, you won’t be assessed each time you teach.
Providing Feedback
