Multisource Feedback

MSF covers a broader range of competencies than traditional evaluation, including communication, professionalism, teamwork, leadership, empathy, integrity, accountability, and interprofessional collaboration. MSF is widely adopted internationally but is not common practice in Saudi Arabia. Multisource feedback is an assessment method that collects evaluations from supervisors, peers, nursing staff, patients, and through self-assessment simultaneously. Implementing MSF requires a cultural shift from hierarchical, supervisor-only evaluation toward a collaborative, multi-perspective model. Behavioural competencies assessed by MSF directly influence patient safety and care quality yet are systematically underassessed by conventional evaluation methods. The ACGME has developed a 360° feedback toolkit to deliver holistic, constructive, multi-stakeholder feedback to residents in order to identify shortcomings and support improvement.
