Objectives: This study aimed to explore students' perspectives on the attributes of medical teachers as role models to students' professional behaviour in the educational process.
Methods: A phenomenological study was conducted to obtain participants' perceptions concerning the professional attributes of medical teachers. The participants were 21 final-year medical students in the School of Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, who had completed and passed the national examination.

However, based on Hofstede's theory, countries with large power distance or a robust social hierarchy and collectivistic cultural dimensions can reduce the feedback dialogue to a minimum. Indonesia is classified in this group, with some Asian, African, Mediterranean, and Latin American countries.

Background: Implementing large-scale multi-site objective structured clinical examination (OSCEs) for national competency examination in a low resource country is challenging.
Aims: To describe the first national OSCE for national competency examination of medical doctors in Indonesia and evaluate the reliability, validity, feasibility, acceptability, and educational impact.
Methods: We collected electronically the OSCE scores from 49 out of 73 medical schools that participated to assess reliability and validity.
Unlabelled: Abstract Background: Medical schools all over the world try to adapt their programs to meet international standards. However, local culture might hamper innovation attempts.
Aims: To describe challenges in implementing the mini-CEX in Indonesia and investigate its effect on students' clinical competence.
Context: Cultural differences between countries may entail differences in feedback processes.
Aims: By replicating a Dutch study in Indonesia, we analysed whether differences in processes influenced the perceived instructiveness of feedback.
Methods: Over a two-week period, Indonesian students (n = 215) recorded feedback moments during clerkships, noting who provided the feedback, whether the feedback was based on observations, who initiated the feedback, and its perceived instructiveness.
