Pre-clinical Medical Student Generated Formative Questions Can Inform the Topics Covered in Faculty Review Sessions...

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• Curriculum Development

Background:

• Preclinical medical education review sessions require significant faculty preparation.
• Variability in student performance year-to-year complicates planning effective review sessions.

Purpose of the Study:

• To pilot a novel co-creation workflow for optimizing preclinical medical education review session planning.
• To assess faculty reception of a student-faculty partnership model for curriculum development.

Main Methods:

• Implemented a co-creation-based workflow involving students and faculty.
• Focused on a partnership approach to address planning challenges.
• Collected faculty feedback on the workflow's feasibility and utility.

Main Results:

• The co-creation workflow was successfully piloted.
• Faculty reported the workflow was well-received.
• The partnership model demonstrated feasibility and utility in planning.

Conclusions:

• A co-creation workflow within a student-faculty partnership can optimize preclinical review session planning.
• This collaborative approach is a feasible and useful strategy for medical educators.
• Student-faculty partnerships offer a promising avenue for enhancing educational program development.
