Pre-clinical Medical Student Generated Formative Questions Can Inform the Topics Covered in Faculty Review Sessions Prior to Summative Assessments

Jarod Karom et al. Med Sci Educ. .

Abstract

Review sessions are challenging for preclinical medical school faculty to prepare due to year-to-year variability of the strengths and weaknesses of different classes. To optimize review session planning, we piloted a novel, co-creation-based workflow within a student-faculty partnership which was well received by faculty in terms of feasibility and utility.

Keywords: Co-creation; Formative practice; Preclinical curriculum; Review session.
