Department of Family Medicine in a medical college in South India introduced "field note" (FN) as a tool for Work-Place Based Assessment in postgraduate training. FN collects "open-ended" feedback from both resident and faculty and helps them to arrive at an action plan. This study describes our experience of implementing FN and perceptions of learners and faculty.
