Drawing the ARC: How medical students shape their professional selves
PURPOSE: Challenges with developing a strong professional identity can have adverse consequences like burnout and misconduct. While conceptual models describe how medical students internalize the attitudes, behaviors and norms ascribed to physicianhood, a comprehensive catalog of the processes students employ to drive PIF is lacking. This study aimed to use qualitative evidence to deconstruct and codify so-called 'mechanisms' for professional ide…
Competence, mattering and belonging: An evidence-based and practical approach to understanding and fostering medical student professional identity formation
INTRODUCTION: Understanding professional identity formation (PIF) in medical education is essential for preparing future physicians to navigate their profession and integrate communities' of practice (CoP) values, norms, and expertise to meet patients' needs. Despite robust PIF literature, gaps persist due to greater focus on internal psychological processes than social-contextual influences. Empirically describing PIF within medical training's c…
Learning by doing and creation of the shared discovery curriculum
The process and outcomes described here are intended as an exemplar for schools undertaking curricular change. Early stakeholder engagement, faculty development, sustainable administrative systems, and managing complexity are core to the success of such endeavors
Medical Student Progress Examination Performance and Its Relationship With Metacognition, Critical Thinking, and Self-Regulated Learning Strategies
PURPOSE: Metacognition and critical thinking are essential for academic success. The relationship between these components and medical student learning, as assessed with progress examinations, informs curriculum development and efforts to ensure learning progression of all students. This study assessed learning mechanisms by modeling medical students' progress test performance longitudinally at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.…
Utilizing learning communities to deliver an integrated undergraduate medical education curriculum
Utilizing LCs to deliver an integrated science curriculum is an underutilized strategy in UGME. Surveys on student satisfaction and academic performance are encouraging. Additional outcome measures are planned to continually evaluate this innovative multifaceted integration
Michigan State University College of Human Medicine
Medical Education Program Highlights The novel Shared Discovery Curriculum (SDC) was implemented in 2016. Its pillars are 3 progressive, longitudinal experiences: the early clinical experience (ECE, year 1), middle clinical experience (MCE, year 2), and late clinical experience (LCE, years 3 and 4). Students learn in authentic patient care environments starting week 9 of medical school. This early interprofessional team engagement enables student…

Patient participation in clinical encounters: A systematic review to identify self‐report measures
Progress testing 2.0: Clinical skills meets necessary science
Use of a PCSE is feasible for early medical students. As medical schools integrate clinical experience with underlying knowledge, this type of examination holds promise. Further data are needed to validate this examination as an accurate measure of clinical performance and knowledge
Investing in success: Student experiences in a structured, decelerated preclinical medical school curriculum
The ECP allows some students to complete medical school who otherwise may not have been able to do so. This analysis has provided valuable information that was used to improve the program, allowing CHM to continue its mission of training a diverse set of students to be exemplary physicians
Measuring Mistreatment: Honing Questions about Abuse on the Association of American Medical Colleges Graduation Questionnaire
Is it possible that medical school is a place where medical students are actually abused? This was the question posed in 1982 by Henry Silver, as he observed a new matriculating class of "eager, alert, enthusiastic and excited medical students" and considered that, for some, medical school would result in a gradual personal transformation shaped by fear, sadness, dejection, and frustration A subsequent survey revealed evidence to support the idea…
Documenting clinical performance problems among medical students: Feedback for learner remediation and curriculum enhancement
Our review form allowed clinical faculty to validate pass/fail decisions based on standardized patient ratings. Detailed information about performance problems contributes to learner feedback and curricular enhancement to guide remediation planning and faculty development
Better data for teachers, better data for learners, better patient care: College-wide assessment at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine
When our school organized the curriculum around a core set of medical student competencies in 2004, it was clear that more numerous and more varied student assessments were needed. To oversee a systematic approach to the assessment of medical student competencies, the Office of College-wide Assessment was established, led by the Associate Dean of College-wide Assessment. The mission of the Office is to 'facilitate the development of a seamless as…
Development and evaluation of a Health Record Online Submission Tool (Host)
HOST is the first published online method of in-depth HR training for preclinical students using information gathered in clinical encounters. With it we were able to maintain effective instruction, streamline course management, and significantly decrease staff time. HOST did not improve student perception of grading consistency and did not prepare students for specific EHR use. Within the context of our class size expansion and our community-base…
The Impact of School-Based Health Centers on the Health Outcomes of Middle School and High School Students
Objectives. We studied the direct and indirect effects of school-based health centers (SBHCs) on the health and health behaviors of middle and high school students. Methods. We used a prospective cohort design to measure health outcomes annually over 2 consecutive years by student self-report. Cohorts of middle school and high school students were recruited from matched schools with and without SBHCs. Data were obtained from 744 students in both …
The Intentions of Letter Writers for Applicants to a Baccalaureate-M.D. Program: Self-Report and Content Analyses of Letters of Reference
Most letter writers see their role as supportive rather than evaluative. Academic accomplishments, though often mentioned, are available from other sources. Many non-cognitive attributes of most interest to admissions committees are least likely to appear in reference letters
Study Skills and Academic Performance among Second-Year Medical Students in Problem-Based Learning
A better understanding of the differences in study habits and study aid use in relation to examination performance can help in providing future students with appropriate academic support and advising
A Survey of Information Sources Used for Progress Decisions about Medical Students
Although many medical schools have adopted a variety of methods to assess student competency, the extent to which these innovations have changed how decisions about student progress are made is not clear. This paper describes a survey of 126 accredited allopathic U.S. medical schools to determine which information sources are used for decisions related to medical student progress and graduation. Respondents were asked to indicate up to three info…
The Influence of Recovery Status and Education on Addiction Counselors' Approach to Treatment
The goal of this study is to examine the influence of education and recovery status on substance abuse treatment counselors' approach to patients. Three hundred forty-four drug abuse and alcoholism treatment counselors were questioned about treatment goals. A subgroup of 197 were also questioned about treatment practices. The influences of education and recovery status on the choice of treatment goals and treatment practices were examined through…
Medical Students As Standardized Patients In A Second-Year Performance-Based Assessment Experience
Performance-based assessments of medical students using standardized patients (SPs) have been conducted in a variety of formats during both pre-clinical and clinical years. At Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, a series of performance-based assessment (PBA) experiences have been established in the second year to evaluate students' abilities to integrate basic skills and medical knowledge. The format developed was based on classm…
Mandatory Microcomputers: Potential Effects on Medical School Recruitment and Admissions
To inform discussions about a proposal that required incoming medical students own a microcomputer, applicants accepted for admission to the College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University were mailed a survey which focused on microcomputer literacy, ownership and perceptions of a mandatory microcomputer proposal. The response rate was 79%. Two-thirds of respondents had access to a microcomputer at home; more had access at school. Microcom…
Sources of Coming Out Self-Efficacy for Lesbians
The empirical literature on disclosing a lesbian sexual orientation has explored the circumstantial and demographic variables related to this act. This exploratory study utilized self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1986) to investigate the extent to which each of the four sources of efficacy information (e.g., performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, or emotional arousal) contributed to the coming out self-efficacy of lesb…
A Comparison of Problems-of-Life for Blacks and Whites Entering Substance Abuse Treatment Programs
Blacks in the general population experience alcohol-related health problems to a greater extent than Whites, even though surveys of drinking behavior find that Blacks generally drink no more than Whites and, in fact, at younger ages Blacks actually drink less than Whites. In this study, Blacks and Whites entering randomly selected state-supported substance abuse treatment programs within a given period of time were interviewed and administered a …
Substance Abuse Prognosis with an Additional Psychiatric Diagnosis: Understanding the Relationship
Patients with alcohol and other substance abuse problems have poorer prognoses if there is a concomitant psychiatric diagnosis. However, because severity of psychiatric problems contributes more than the specific psychiatric diagnosis to prognosis, the nature of the interaction between substance abuse treatment outcome and an accompanying psychiatric diagnosis can be questioned. In this article an attempt is made to understand the poor-prognosis-…
