Measuring the development of a medical professional identity through medical school
Purpose: The Professional Identity Essay (PIE) is a theory and evidence-based Medical Professional Identity Formation (MPIF) measure. We describe trajectories of PIE-measured MPIF over a 4-year US medical school curriculum.Methods: Students write PIEs at medical school orientation, clinical clerkships orientation, and post-advanced (near graduation) clerkship. A trained evaluator assigns an overall stage score to narrative responses to nine PIE p…
Observing and Assessing Competence in Evidence-Based Medicine in Graduating Medical Students
Purpose: The ability to form clinical questions and retrieve evidence to advance patient care is a foundational Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) integral to the practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM). In addition to improving patient care, the ability to formulate questions and locate evidence is an essential skill for meeting lifelong learning goals.1 The assessment of EPA 7 may be suboptimal for several reasons including suboptimal ro…
Practical wisdom in medicine through the eyes of medical students and physicians
Understanding medical student paths to communication skills expertise using latent profile analysis
PURPOSE: To describe patterns of clinical communication skills that inform curriculum enhancement and guide coaching of medical students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Performance data from 1182 consenting third year medical students in 9 cohorts (2011-2019), on a 17-item Clinical Communication Skills Assessment Tool (CCSAT) completed by trained Standardized Patients as part of an eight case high stakes Comprehensive Clinical Skills Exam (CCSE) were ana…
Reach
PROBLEM: The extent of medical student unwellness is well documented. Learner distress may impact patient care, workforce adequacy, and learners' performance and personal health. The authors describe the philosophy, structure, and content of the novel REACH (Recognize, Empathize, Allow, Care, Hold each other up) curriculum and provide a preliminary evaluation. APPROACH: The REACH curriculum is a mandatory, longitudinal well-being curriculum for f…
Using Latent Profile Analysis to Describe and Understand Medical Student Paths to Communication Skills Expertise
Despite the importance of communication skills, the skills of graduating medical students vary widely. Identification of patterns of communication skills development among medical students could guide coaching of all students toward mastery. For the past 13 years at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, students have been required to pass a Comprehensive Clinical Skills Exam (CCSE) administered at the end of required clinical rotations. Consistent…
Heartache or Bellyache? Epigastric Pain, Communication Skills, and Implicit Bias
Purpose: Implicit bias contributes to health disparities through physician communication behaviors. 1 Research in clinical encounters suggests certain nonverbal and verbal communication is associated with racial implicit bias. 2 To date, there are no published simulations that can be used for teaching or assessment purposes in implicit bias recognition and management (IBRM). We developed a high-fidelity simulation 3 and adapted existing checklist…
The Benefits of Using the Healthy Minds Application in Medical Students
Purpose: Studies have shown that medical students have an increased risk for depression and suicide compared with the general population and that risk increases throughout medical training. 1 These mental health issues are evident beginning in the first year of medical school and if not addressed, negative outcomes such as burnout, substance abuse, and suicidality are more likely to occur. 2,3 We studied the effects of using a Healthy Minds Progr…
Telehealth and Medical Student Education in the Time of Covid-19—and Beyond
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to limit medical students’ full reintegration into clinical learning environments, thus exacerbating an ongoing challenge in identifying a robust number of clinical educational activities at excellent clinical sites for all students. Because medical students across the United States were removed from direct patient care activities in mid-March 2020 due to COVID-19, medical centers have prioritized and implemented c…
