Abstract

Feedback is a crucial component of medical education, traditionally delivered verbally or written. However, video feedback presents a modern alternative that allows learners to review clinical encounters, assess their non-verbal communication, and track progress over time. This review examines the benefits of video feedback compared to traditional methods, focusing on its application among medical students and other healthcare professionals. A systematic search identified 68 studies across various healthcare settings, highlighting the effectiveness of video feedback in improving learning outcomes, clinical skills, and self-assessment. Video feedback enhances clinical performance, communication, and confidence while encouraging self-reflection and peer collaboration. It aligns with the Situated Learning Theory, fostering learning within authentic clinical environments. Despite its advantages, challenges like resource allocation, technical issues, and ethical concerns like patient confidentiality persist. To address these, a 12-step framework is proposed for integrating video feedback into medical curricula. While video feedback offers significant improvements, it should complement rather than replace traditional methods. Future research should focus on standardising its use and evaluating its long-term impact on medical education and patient care.
