Description

A silver lining in medical student mistreatment? Sounds ridiculous, but that is exactly what happened at the Penn State College of Medicine.
In this session you will learn:

  1. How a learner mistreatment problem fueled system-wide change.
  2. How focusing on eliminating learner mistreatment wasn’t enough.
  3. How shifting the focus to highlighting exceptional teaching engaged learners and leaders.
  4. How analyzing a database of over 3,000 student narratives on exceptional teaching led to three key themes for medical educators to use as a guide to exceptional teaching.
  5. The belief that today’s students don’t want to be challenged is a myth.
  6. Strategies for faculty to engage learners in ways they find to be challenging, effective, and rewarding.
