Summary
Medical students can improve clinical learning by developing coachability, which involves seeking, receiving, and using feedback. This curriculum empowers students to enhance their learning and well-being during clinical clerkships.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Health Professions Education
- Clinical Skills Development
Background:
- Coachability, adapted from sports and business, is crucial for medical students' clinical learning.
- Effective coachability involves actively seeking, receiving, and utilizing feedback for behavioral change and goal achievement.
- Empowering preclerkship students in coachability is essential for success in clinical clerkships.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a curriculum aimed at enhancing medical students' coachability.
- To assess the impact of a coachability curriculum on students' clinical learning and well-being.
Main Methods:
- A 5-hour curriculum comprising large-group presentations and small-group seminars delivered over two years.
- Medical students designed, implemented, and managed the curriculum under faculty supervision.
- Cross-sectional evaluation using student surveys and focus groups.
Main Results:
- Over 575 students completed the curriculum since 2015.
- Year 2 students reported the curriculum as valuable and planned to apply lessons learned.
- Focus group participants confirmed using coachability strategies positively impacted clinical learning and well-being.
Conclusions:
- The flexible, modular coachability curriculum is adaptable for other institutions.
- Student-led initiatives are vital for adapting content and instructional strategies in medical education.
- Expanding coachability training across the medical school continuum is recommended for future development.
