The Effect of Bedside Rounds on Learning Outcomes in Medical Education: A Systematic Review
Conclusions
In hospital-based settings, learners’ satisfaction with bedside rounds is mixed. However, bedside rounds appear to have a positive effect on learner behavior and health care delivery. Given their potential value, additional research is needed to identify barriers to and facilitators of educationally successful bedside rounds. (Source: Academic Medicine)

Teaching Medical Students to Teach: A Narrative Review and Literature-Informed Recommendations for Student-as-Teacher Curricula
Conclusions
Informed by these findings and outcome-based educational frameworks, the authors suggest 4 guiding principles for SaT curricula: (1) teaching skills training should be formally implemented in undergraduate medical education and should, whenever possible, be compulsory; (2) teaching skills should be taught longitudinally and progressively along the undergraduate to postgraduate continuum; (3) curriculum content should be aligned with a school’s preexisting curriculum and local context; and (4) authentic opportunities for students to engage in teaching roles should be included. They also propose recommendat...

Leadership Development in U.S. Undergraduate Medical Education: A Scoping Review of Curricular Content and Competency Frameworks
Conclusions
The authors found wide variation in content of U.S. UME leadership development curricula, and few curricula aligned with an established leadership competency framework. The lack of professional consensus on the scope of medical leadership and how it should be taught thwarts effective incorporation of medical leadership training within UME.

Educational Outcomes of a 4-Year MD–MPH Dual-Degree Program: High Completion Rates and Higher Likelihood of Primary Care Residency
Conclusions
The 4-year MD–MPH program retains and graduates a socioeconomically and racial/ethnically diverse group of students with a 93% success rate. MD–MPH graduates were more likely to pursue primary care residency than non-dual-degree students, which may have implications for addressing population health disparities. (Source: Academic Medicine)

Medical Students’ Socialization Tactics When Entering a New Clinical Clerkship: A Mixed Methods Study of Proactivity
This study was conducted at the 5-year MBBS program at Western Sydney University during academic year 2019–2020. Using a convergent mixed methods approach, survey and interview data from third-, fourth-, and fifth-year students were collected. Surveys explored 5 proactive behaviors: feedback seeking, information seeking, task negotiation, positive framing, and relationship building. Interviews elicited descriptions of how students described their proactivity and what influenced students to be proactive when entering a new clerkship. Data were integrated using the following the thread and mixed methods matrix techniques.

Experiences of Discrimination, Institutional Responses to Seminal Race Events, and Depressive Symptoms in Black U.S. Medical Students
This study collected data from a convenience sample of Black U.S. medical students via an anonymous electronic questionnaire in August 2020 that was distributed through the Student National Medical Association and Organization of Student Representatives listservs and an author’s social media accounts. It included questions on demographics, institutional responses to seminal race events, experiences of discrimination, and symptoms of depression. Path models were used to examine the relationship between experiences of discrimination, institutional responses to seminal race events, and depressive symptoms among Black medica...

Symbolic Solidarity or Virtue Signaling? A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Public Statements Released by Academic Medical Organizations in the Wake of the Killing of George Floyd
Conclusions
This research offers insight into how 45 academic medical organizations initially responded following the murder of George Floyd. Many of these statements included self-exculpatory and nonracist discursive strategies. While these statements may have been well intentioned, organizations must move beyond words to transformative action to abolish institutional racism in academic medicine. (Source: Academic Medicine)

Implementation of a Case Investigation and Contact Tracing Program at an Academic Medical Center in New York City
Problem
In the spring of 2020, New York City was an epicenter of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and mortality. One of the hardest hit areas in New York City was central Brooklyn, where State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate is located. As the severity of the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic waned in New York City, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University planned to institute COVID-19 surveillance on campus to limit its spread among employees and students.
Approach
In collaboration with university leadership and students across schools, the SUNY Downstate Contact Tracing Corps was established...

We Get by With a Little Help From Our PEERS: The Practice Enhancement, Engagement, Resilience, and Support Program for Building Community and Well-Being in Medical Education
Problem
Physician distress is a growing national problem that begins in medical school. Solutions that teach well-being concepts and coping skills during medical school and throughout medical training are needed.
Approach
The Practice Enhancement, Engagement, Resilience, and Support (PEERS) program was designed at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) in 2017 as a longitudinal program for medical students to process challenges and learn evidence-based coping strategies in a supportive group setting. The curriculum comprises 10 small-group sessions incorporating principles of mindfulness, positive p...

Reopening a Student-Run Free Clinic During the COVID-19 Pandemic to Provide Care for People Experiencing Homelessness
Problem
Student-run free clinics (SRFCs) provide health and outreach services to underserved populations while offering medical students opportunities for service and education. Many SRFCs were forced to suspend in-person operations in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Before March 2020, JeffHOPE, the SRFC at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, operated an evening clinic at 5 locations throughout Philadelphia each week.
Approach
JeffHOPE’s response to challenges posed by COVID-19 focused on a redesign for a pilot clinic at a shelter site that expressed interest in resuming oper...

Increasing Pediatric Residency Class Diversity to Improve Patient Outcomes and Address Structural Racism
Problem
The racial and ethnic makeup of physicians in the United States does not reflect that of the communities they serve. Addressing this disparity may improve patient outcomes and combat structural racism.
Approach
Starting in 2014, the pediatric residency program at Children’s National Hospital deliberately worked to assemble residency classes with racial and ethnic diversity that was similar to that of the Washington, DC, community it served. This work consisted of 3 initiatives: the Minority Senior Scholarship Program (MSSP), a pipeline program for rising fourth-year underrepresented in medicine (UIM) m...
