The program\u2019s impact is tracked through student and faculty evaluations, as well as focus groups and longitudinal data collection. According to Kadlec, this feedback has been \u201coverwhelmingly positive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents report increased satisfaction with their clinical training, the learning environment, and feedback provided by mentor clinicians, as well as improved communication skills and greater confidence in their doctoring skills,\u201d she said. \u201cEven faculty who aren\u2019t mentor clinicians say the program has improved their own teaching and clinical practices and the overall learning environment at the School of Medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Going National<\/p>\n
With more than 1,300 UC San Diego medical students having come through the program, MCP\u2019s success has sparked interest from other top medical schools. This year, MCP opened its doors to external partners, launching a multicenter MCP study at seven institutions, including the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)\/University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). Partner institutions are now working closely with UC San Diego to tailor the MCP to their own environments, using facilitation guides and regular meetings to incorporate best practices and ensure fidelity to the program\u2019s core values<\/p>\n
Morgan Greenfield, MD, pediatric hospitalist and clerkship co-director at CHOP, was immediately drawn to MCP\u2019s model. \u201cDirect, formative feedback is indispensable, but hard to provide in today\u2019s busy clinical environment,\u201d she said. \u201cMCP offers students longitudinal coaching and a psychologically safe space to grow. We\u2019re excited to bring this innovation to our learners.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greenfield notes that the program\u2019s emphasis on formative, non-evaluative feedback is especially valuable. \u201cOur students crave honest feedback and mentorship, but the realities of clinical training often make that hard,\u201d she said. \u201cMCP creates a structure where growth is the goal, not just performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
At MCW, Ashish Shah, MD \u2014 who completed his medical training in Wisconsin and served as a mentor clinician at UC San Diego before returning to the Midwest \u2014 has championed MCP\u2019s adoption. \u201cAs a junior faculty member, MCP was my favorite educational experience,\u201d Shah said. \u201cIt builds real relationships, helps students feel seen and supports faculty development. The impact is clear, and our institution quickly saw its value.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The program\u2019s impact is tracked through student and faculty evaluations, as well as focus groups and longitudinal data…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":512908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-512907","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-san-diego","12":"tag-sandiego","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115887337846447776","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/512908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
