Abstract
Introduction Peer feedback is crucial for enhancing learners' competency and skills in achieving educational goals. Despite its proven impact on learning outcomes, learners often lack the necessary skills and confidence to engage in meaningful peer feedback. Objective Our primary aim was to create a practical and memorable feedback model that considers all key individuals involved in educational feedback processes. Method We utilized a narrative case study within the 6for6 program, a research skills development initiative for rural physicians. Employing the nominal group technique, the 6for6 core team held regular meetings to address challenges in peer feedback processes and craft a practical and memorable model. Result The developed peer-feedback model focuses on three key persons: presenters, peers, and pedagogues (Triple P). Each person has an associated rubric and a simple acronym for ease of recall. Additionally, a learning plan template was adapted to help learners organize their thoughts and progress toward their goals. Conclusion Recognizing feedback as an interactive and multi-faceted process, our model, created within the 6for6 program, encompasses main persons and has the potential to enhance learning opportunities and outcomes. While initially designed for rural physician research skills development, this model is adaptable to various educational settings and contexts.
