Supplemental instruction (SI) can help medical students develop crucial study skills during their transition to university. This evidence-based approach improves course grades and reduces dropout rates, offering significant value for medical education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Student Support Services
  • Academic Skills Development

Background:

  • Transitioning to university and medical school presents significant challenges for students.
  • Existing support for developing early-stage study skills in medical training is limited.
  • The supplemental instruction (SI) model, developed in the US, offers a potential solution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the supplemental instruction (SI) scheme for first-year UK medical students.
  • To assess the suitability of SI for enhancing study skills in a medical curriculum.
  • To explore the potential of SI to improve academic performance and retention.

Main Methods:

  • The article outlines the principles and structure of the supplemental instruction (SI) program.

  • It reviews existing data from non-medical UK courses where SI has been implemented.
  • The potential application and benefits of SI within medical education are discussed.

    • Main Results:

    • SI has demonstrated success in UK degree and diploma subjects, leading to improved course grades.
    • Implementation of SI has been associated with reduced student attrition rates in non-medical fields.
    • Evaluation data indicates significant improvements in overall course marks for participating students.

    Conclusions:

    • Supplemental instruction (SI) is a valuable scheme for developing essential study skills in first-year medical students.
    • SI has a proven track record of enhancing academic performance and retention in higher education.
    • Introducing SI into the UK medical curriculum could significantly benefit student success and reduce dropout rates.
