of feedback in their educational process during clinical rotation.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Islamic international medical college Islamabad from
st th 1 January to 30 June 2016.
Materials and Methods: Purposive sampling technique with maximum variation was adopted to select a total
of six assistant professors from six different clinical specialties and six final year MBBS students on clinical
rotations. The data was collected through structured interviews. The written consent was taken from all the
respondents before conducting the interviews. Themes and sub themes were emerged through the
combination of open and axial nodes.Thematic analysis of the transcribed data was done using Nvivo software.
Results: A number of challenges to effective feedback were perceived by the teachers and also by the medical
students during clinical clerkship in institution. The emergent themes were: time pressure, discouraging
attitude of the teachers, defensive attitude of students, the inappropriate process and contents of feedback.
These challenges of feedback should be addressed in order to improve the learning of the students as the
ultimate beneficiaries are our patients.
Conclusion: The study concluded that there were several barriers to effective feedback that were hampering
the development of competent clinician. Effective constructive feedback will enhance the learning of students

structured process and encourage student involvement. Constructive feedback helps in motivating but does
not dampen their learning.
