Abstract
Implication Statement
We developed and implemented an interdisciplinary workshop to increase confidence amongst pre-medical students when transitioning to medical school. We were inspired by the collaborative small-group Case Based Learning (CBL) sessions from the pre-clerkship curriculum at our medical school. By involving medical student volunteers as group facilitators, this workshop was a feasible and sustainable addition to medical school preparation for undergraduate students enrolled in an integrated medical pathway. Furthermore, our model suggests advantages for similar programs at other institutions, providing early exposure to clinical expectations.
Résumé
Énoncé des implications de la recherche
Nous avons conçu et mis en oeuvre un atelier interdisciplinaire visant à renforcer la confiance des étudiants en prémédecine lors de leur transition vers la faculté de médecine. Nous nous sommes inspirés des séances collaboratives d’apprentissage par cas en petits groupes (CBL) du programme pré-externat de notre faculté. En mobilisant des étudiants en médecine bénévoles comme animateurs de groupe, cet atelier a représenté un ajout faisable et durable à la préparation médicale des étudiants inscrits dans un parcours intégré. De plus, notre modèle présente des avantages potentiels pour des programmes similaires dans d’autres établissements, en offrant une exposition précoce aux attentes cliniques.
