Formative feedback in medical education involves observing the trainee’s performance within a certain domain and comparing it against an expected standard. Formative feedback should be clear, specific, timely, actionable, and based on observed activity or behaviors. In undergraduate medical education, the 13 AAMC core entrustable professional activities (Core EPAs) are one example of a structure for designing medical education curricula, providing formative feedback and creating expectations for trainees.
