Through a U21 Health Sciences Group Research Development Grant, an international (and interprofessional) team of feedback researchers and practitioners from McMaster University, the University of Melbourne, and the University of Queensland have developed an Interprofessional Feedback Module for students in the health professions. This team is committed to improving students’ effective engagement in feedback in the health workplace. The self-paced, student-led module is available for all U21 universities, and can be incorporated into existing curriculum focused on interprofessional education, professional practice, or preparing/priming for clinical placements. It will take students approximately 1 hour to complete.
