Background: Most formal instruction in professionalism and communication occurs in the preclinical years of medical school, with an acknowledged need to fortify and apply these competencies during the clinical years. Role modeling provides a powerful way to teach professionalism, particularly when mentors identify specific learning goals and focus the learners' observations.
Description: The authors discuss an innovative process, called Students' Clinical Observations of Preceptors (SCOOP), which reverses the traditional direction of structured observations.
