Introduction: Learners consistently report insufficient feedback, despite interventions to improve the quantity and quality of feedback. Effective feedback requires a dynamic partnership and a trusting relationship between students and teachers. Methods: We developed and implemented a faculty and student program called Feedback Focused on the OB/GYN clerkship with learner- and faculty-centered teaching materials. We evaluated the curriculum's impact on the frequency and quality of feedback exchange through comparison of end-of-clerkship evaluations before and after implementing the Feedback Focused program and assessed student satisfaction from written responses on clerkship evaluations. Results: remained roughly the same before and after the program (69% vs. 70%, respectively). Over 60% of students provided positive feedback on written open response questions. Discussion: We successfully developed and implemented a multipronged approach to effectively change the learning environment culture within our OB/GYN clerkship program. Our evaluation demonstrated that the Feedback Focused program was well received and increased frequency of feedback.
