Barriers to effective feedback in undergraduate medical education: Case study from Saudi Arabia

摘要

Objectives:Students’ feedback is an essential source of data for evaluation and improvement of the quality of education. Nonetheless, feedback may be routinely practised for accreditation purposes, and it is considered as a ritual employed by students, which makes its effectiveness questionable. The aim of this study is to explore and analyze the students’ perceptions about the importance of feedback and the barriers for effective feedback and suggest proper ways to overcome these barriers.
