Article Abstract

As a Clerkship Chief, senior medical students prepare for future roles as physician leaders and future medical educators. The Clerkship Chief elective offers senior students an opportunity to work with junior students on their core clerkships. Chiefs assume an educational leadership role as they mentor and provide supplemental formative feedback to junior students in real time. As educators, Chiefs answer questions, prepare study materials and didactics, and assist clerkship students with time management. This early experience and behind-the-scenes view of medical education may influence attitudes and decisions of senior students in pursuit of education leadership.

Approach: A 4-week Internal Medicine Student Chief (Student Chief) elective was created, designed such that fourth-year students would apply for dedicated time to serve as student leaders, coaches and educators for the third-year students on the Internal Medicine clerkship.

At the foundation of research concerned with professional training is the idea of an assumed causal chain between the policies and practices of education and the eventual behaviours of those that graduate these programs. In medicine, given the social accountability to ensure that teaching and learning gives way to a health human resource that is willing and able to provide the healthcare that patients and communities need, it is of critical importance to generate evidence regarding this causal relationship. One question that medical education scholars ask regularly is the degree to which the unique features of training programs and learning environments impact trainee achievement of the intended learning outcomes.
