Purpose Constructive feedback is key to successful teaching and learning. The unique characteristics of problem-based learning (PBL) tutorials require a unique feedback intervention. Based on the review of existing literature, we developed a feedback model for PBL tutorials, as an extension of the feedback facilitator guide of Mubuuke and his colleagues. This study was aimed to examine the perceptions of students and tutors on the feedback model that was piloted in PBL tutorials.
Methods This study employed a qualitative research design. The model was tested in nine online PBL sessions, selected using the maximum variation sampling strategy based on tutors’ characteristics. All sessions were observed by the researcher. Afterwards, tutors and students in the PBL sessions were interviewed to explore their perceptions of the model.
Results Three themes were identified based on the perceptions of the tutors and students: cognitive changes, behavioral changes, and challenges of the use of the feedback model. Both tutors and students benefited from improved cognition and behavior. However, the use of the feedback model still encountered some challenges, such as limited sources of feedback data, flexibility and adaptability of the model, content of feedback delivered, students’ characteristics and performance, tutors’ characteristics and self-perceptions, and supportive infrastructure.
Conclusion The model can be used as a reference for tutors to deliver constructive feedback during PBL tutorials. The challenges identified in using the constructive feedback model include the need for synchronized guidelines, ample time to adapt to the model, and skills training for tutors.

Purpose The introduction of community-based medical education would help improve the quality of primary care. This paper suggests learning objectives and an educational program for community-based medical education.
Methods The educational program was developed in a 1-day consensus workshop. Twenty experts, including faculty members from family medicine department of a college of medicine in Seoul and community-based preceptors, participated in the program. A needs-assessment survey was conducted among community-based preceptors before the workshop. Through this workshop, we derived learning objectives and a standardized curriculum for community-based medical education.
Results In the questionnaire before the workshop, community-based preceptors voiced concerns over the program’s potential costs and the time required for teaching. The learning objectives and educational programs derived from the workshop’s consensus were consistent with the characteristics of the primary care. Based on the results of this workshop, the joint expert team developed a standard educational program on two core topics: clinical teaching and mentoring.
Conclusion From this curriculum development process, participants could construct a more standardized curriculum for community-based medical education. Future studies are needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of these educational programs, such as the learners’ satisfaction and achievement.

PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new teaching segment, named "problem-based clinical teaching," for the clinical clerkship in the undergraduate medical curriculum.
METHODS Students were given a problem weekly on a case that they had seen during their rotation. The problem was provided by the instructor from a case that had already been diagnosed but came up with an additional problem that called for further investigation by the attending physician. The task for the students was to conduct the investigation and discuss the problem with the attending physician. A survey was conducted of a class of 3rd year medical students (n=43) who completed clerkships in internal medicine to measure the level of student engagement in the problem-based clinical teaching segment and the students' overall perceptions of this new teaching method.
RESULTS Students generally agreed with the statements that they were actively engaged in the learning during the problem-based clinical teaching session. The students also perceived that this teaching session helped them acquire a deeper understanding of the knowledge and that it enhanced their problem solving skills and motivation.
CONCLUSION Problem-based clinical teaching is a useful educational method to apply problem-based learning in clinical clerkship settings.
