Many of us avoid giving feedback because it can feel negative and uncomfortable. We’re afraid of a poor reaction from the student and we really don’t want to hurt their feelings – after all – they already have so much pressure on them. And let’s be honest - sometimes, we just want to be liked.

And yet as preceptors, giving good feedback is probably one of the most important jobs we have. If our learners – whether students or residents - are going to be successful, deliver excellent patient care, and even keep patients safe, they’ve got to hear some tough feedback every now and again. If we’re being truthful – so do we.

Dr. Shannon James from Husson University joined me for a discussion about giving good feedback to learners. Her thoughtful and fearless approach to this really resonated with me and I hope it does for you, too.
