MS4 Class Information – May 5, 2022

Join a study about the clinical learning environment 

A message from Addie McClintock, MD (General Internal Medicine): Dear students, we are looking to recruit students who have completed the third-year clerkships for a focus group study. The study will ask you to complete a short survey and participate in a one hourlong virtual focus group thinking about how we change the culture of the learning environment to facilitate growth mindset and in the moment coaching when you are working on your clinical rotations.

If you are interested, please contact Dr. Nandiwada (the PI) at rani.nandiwada@pennmedicine.upenn.edu to sign up.  If you have other questions about participation, feel free to email me, Addie McClintock at ahearst@uw.edu.
