In team-based learning (TBL), peer evaluation is important, but also open to bias. We examined the relation between gender and summative peer feedback over 3 years in all 90 teams created in our psychiatry clerkship. Gender-equivalent (92.7 vs 88.1, < 0.05) and majority-women (93.6 vs 88.1, < 0.05) teams scored higher than majority-men in the first 2 years, as did women-majority teams in the third (98.3 vs 94.8, < 0.05). Mean scores were little-affected by team size. These findings suggest TBL team gender balance can adversely affect peer evaluations. Instructors should consider team gender composition and the weight given to feedback scores.
