Setting Goals and Expectations (GLEAM)
Use this tool at the beginning of WRITE – a useful rubric to get to know your learner and set goals.
Goals
- What are your goals and expectations for WRITE?
- What are your goals and expectations for your career?
Learning
- How do you learn most effectively?
- What has helped you succeed in other rotations/clinical experiences?
- What did you find challenging?
- How do you like to receive feedback?
Experiences
- What previous patient experiences have been meaningful to you?
- What have other clerkships been like? What worked for you and helped you learn? What seemed to derail you? If WRITE is their first clerkship, have them draw upon experiences in the Foundations Phase, and have the student share a story.
- If there have been no challenges thus far, invite them to talk with you when such challenges arise during your subsequent time together.
Activities
- What activities are you involved in outside of medicine? (Consider exploring the students’ support system.)
- What other roles/responsibilities do you have in your family and community?
More
- What more do I need to know about you to make this an optimal learning experience for you?
- What have I forgotten to ask you?
- Do you have any questions for me?
