TEACHING IN THE CLINICAL SETTING
As Phase 3 students, apply teaching theories to the pursuit of improving the clinical learning environment for Phase 2 students. Unique opportunity for Phase 3 medical students to gain experience with clinical teaching in a capacity similar to how they will function as an intern without the demands and responsibilities of residency, with a focus on establishing good teaching practices. Spend time in the clinical setting advising and mentoring Phase 2 students. No direct participation in patient care. Prepare and deliver short teaching sessions for Phase 2 students from a standard curriculum of learning topics to help Phase 2 students achieve success on Labor Delivery. Develop innovative ways to guide Phase 2 students to effectively utilize clinical resources, navigate the basics of patient assessment, and engage with the patient care team.
