Does feedback matter? Practice‐based learning for medical students after a multi‐institutional clinical performance examination

Context  Achieving competence in ‘practice‐based learning’ implies that doctors can accurately self‐ assess their clinical skills to identify behaviours that need improvement. This study examines the impact of receiving feedback via performance benchmarks on medical students' self‐assessment after a clinical performance examination (CPX).
