Feedback is one of the most powerful drivers of growth in residency, when you know how to use it well. This session focuses on practical strategies to help emergency medicine residents get more value out of everyday feedback in the clinical environment. Using evidence-based principles and real-world examples, the session will cover how to listen for key messages (including non‑verbal cues), respond productively to challenging feedback, and seek out input that is specific, timely, and actionable. Residents will also learn approaches to guide faculty toward giving clearer, more useful coaching, helping you take an active role in your own development throughout residency.

Learning Objectives:

Describe common barriers to effectively receiving and using feedback in clinical training.
Identify strategies to interpret both verbal and non‑verbal feedback encountered on shift. Apply techniques to manage emotional reactions and maintain a growth-focused mindset when receiving feedback.
Recognize the characteristics of high‑quality, actionable feedback and how it supports professional development. Utilize practical approaches to proactively seek clearer, more specific, and more individualized feedback from faculty.
