Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Student Affairs

Background:

  • Learning communities (LCs) are increasingly adopted in US medical schools.
  • Significant institutional variability exists in LC characteristics, hindering outcome measurement.
  • There is a need to understand LC structures and processes for effective implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize medical school LCs based on primary purpose, structures, and processes.
  • To establish a foundation for future outcome studies and best practice benchmarking.
  • To provide a descriptive overview of existing LC models.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was distributed to directors of LCs affiliated with the Learning Communities Institute (LCI).
  • Program descriptions were collected and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
  • Descriptive statistics were used to summarize survey responses.

Main Results:

  • All surveyed LCs featured longitudinal student-faculty relationships.
  • Key objectives included advising/mentoring, professional development, courses, social activities, and wellness.
  • Common themes identified were supporting professional growth, fostering community, and promoting student wholeness.

Conclusions:

  • Medical school LCs are high-impact educational practices utilizing community and relational continuity.
  • LCs holistically support students' learning and development as physicians.
  • A unifying framework is proposed to enable comparative educational outcomes research across institutions.
