Virtual student experiences: A case study of objectives, outcomes, and anticipated consequences.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most in-person visiting clerkship opportunities have been canceled. Many institutions have developed virtual experiences to fill this void; however, the format and objectives of these experiences are variable. This article describes an education intervention for visiting students where both learner-oriented and program-oriented outcomes of a nonclerkship virtual student experience are explored.

Identifying and Analyzing Systems Failures: An Interactive, Experiential Learning Approach to Quality Improvement for Clerkship-Level Medical Students.

Introduction: Medical students are positioned to observe, document, and explore opportunities to improve patient safety and quality in their institutions. Medical schools are introducing quality improvement (QI) knowledge and skills in the preclinical classrooms, yet few provide opportunities to apply these tools in the clinical setting.

Methods: Clerkship students participated in two 1-hour sessions, organized in groups of 12-15 students, led by faculty with QI expertise.
