M25 Medicine 834Clinical Mentoring (Clinical Elective)0.0 Unit
Description:This elective is designed to develop the teaching and mentoring skills of our Phase 3 medical students through structured hospital sessions with early Phase 1 medical students in Gateway. The primary format of the elective is observation of 2 first-year students during hospital sessions that span from September-April.

During these hospital sessions the Phase 1 learners will start by observing H and Ps being done on real patients. As they gradually learn history taking skills, they will start performing the history and documenting it. After winter break, they will also start performing portions of the physical exam in addition to taking histories. All sessions will be observed by the Phase 3 mentor, who will provide immediate post-session feedback. Additionally, documentation of the clinical encounter (a written H and P) by the Phase 1 learners is to be reviewed and critiqued by the mentor. Additional practice sessions for physical exam components will be coordinated by the clinical skills director.

A total of 4 sessions are required throughout the year. Phase 1 Gateway curriculum does not start until mid-September, and the elective will conclude at Spring Break, prior to the first clinical immersion for the Phase 1 students and prior to Match Day for the Phase 3 mentor. Approximately one session/month will be required during October, November, February,and March. The individual dates are flexible. If you are unable to participate in a session due to being on away rotations, it is your responsibility to find a substitute mentor.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
