Medical education resources initiative for teens program in baltimore: A model pipeline program built on four pillars.

Background: Less than 6% of U.S. medical school applicants are African-American.

Do questions help? The impact of audience response systems on medical student learning: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Audience response systems (ARSs) are electronic devices that allow educators to pose questions during lectures and receive immediate feedback on student knowledge. The current literature on the effectiveness of ARSs is contradictory, and their impact on student learning remains unclear.

Objectives: This randomised controlled trial was designed to isolate the impact of ARSs on student learning and students' perception of ARSs during a lecture.

The Student Curriculum Review Team: How we catalyze curricular changes through a student-centered approach.

Student feedback is a valuable asset in curriculum evaluation and improvement, but many institutions have faced challenges implementing it in a meaningful way. In this article, we report the rationale, process and impact of the Student Curriculum Review Team (SCRT), a student-led and faculty-supported organization at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. SCRT's evaluation of each pre-clinical course is composed of a comprehensive three-step process: a review of course evaluation data, a Town Hall Meeting and online survey to generate and assess potential solutions, and a thoughtful discussion with course directors.
