Hidden Potential – Bringing out the Best in Medical Students and Medical Educators
Guest(s): Raj Narayan, MD; Jamie Jasti, MD; Mark Lodes, MD
Moderator: Margaret Samyn, MD, MBA, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin
Rationale: Educating medical students to become the next generation of clinicians and clinician scientists requires not only instruction in traditional basic sciences, patient-based discussions, and clinical skills, but also creative mentorship to unlock students’ hidden potential. As high-achievers, students are often averse to imperfection, failure, and performing duties before perceived mastery. However, these are all essential components of maximizing growth as described in Adam Grant’s Hidden Potential (Viking/ Penguin Random House). While mentorship programs exist in medical schools, mentors often receive on-the-job training while managing busy clinical or research roles and could benefit from guidance, so they can find their own hidden potential as educators.
Session Plan: Using Adam Grant’s 2023 publication, this panel will discuss the importance of developing character skills through a 3-part interactive discussion focusing on: 1) Embracing our discomfort towards failure to encourage “starting early” before full readiness, 2) Building our absorptive capacity for new information and constructive feedback, and 3) Accepting our imperfections with humility, so we can learn from our mistakes rather than shaming ourselves. Throughout the session, we will also discuss how supportive “scaffolding” can help students and educators overcome obstacles and how opportunities can be approached to build confidence, uncovering the best in medical students of all ages.
Learning Objectives: After attending, participants will understand how 1) To develop a “learning mindset” 2) To build supportive scaffolding 3) To increase student confidence through opportunities
