Every trainee has experienced the POWER💪🏽 of thoughtful feedback… & the downside of generic or poor delivery. Feedback is indispensable to growth in training & the many years beyond📈 Honored to have worked on this piece with the queen of feedback herself @CHRISTINESTL123 👑
Feedback is invaluable during medical training, but delivering effective feedback can be challenging. For The New Gastroenterologist, @BalissMichelle and @CHRISTINESTL123 review common barriers and offer practical tips for providing feedback. https://t.co/XxHB9Wgjob
