Context: A growth mindset and mastery approach have gained attention as useful learning orientations in medical education, however few studies of interventions to foster these orientations exist.
Objectives: We sought to discover whether a communication skills session on delivering serious news could foster a communication growth mindset and/or a mastery approach in medical students.
Methods: This was an interventional survey study of third-year medical students before and after a session on delivering serious news.
Article Synopsis
- Medical students often experience anxiety and cognitive overload due to frequent transitions between clinical rotations, with 85% believing that more specific information beforehand could help.
- A web-based peer-to-peer handoff tool was developed to connect students with recent rotators for insights and support before starting new rotations, along with a handoff checklist of discussion points.
- Approximately 66% of students used the tool, with many reporting reduced anxiety and improved transitions, leading to plans for broader implementation and enhancements like an automated update system.
Objectives: Describe medical student perspectives on framework learning and develop a free, online, mobile-friendly framework website.
Methods: Internal medicine clerkship students were surveyed at a single U.S.
Palliative care (PC) longitudinal curricula are increasingly being recognized as important in Undergraduate Medical Education (UME). They are however, not yet commonplace, and where they do exist may be implemented without a systematic, prospective approach to curriculum evaluation. This paper describes an implementation of a new longitudinal curriculum at the Perelman School of Medicine (PSOM) at the University of Pennsylvania.

It has five key elements: morning huddles; bedside rounds; diagnostic "time-outs"; day-of-discharge rounds; and postdischarge follow-up rounds. The authors hypothesized the CS model would be well received by residents and considered more effective than more-traditional rounds.
