Overview

A pre-clerkship program enhances student-clinical practice as they assist in discharge planning, indicating a new educational approach.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of the Value-added for Inpatients by Students and Interdisciplinary Teams (VISIT) Consult Service on pre-clerkship medical education and patient care.
  • Implemented VISIT for first- and second-year medical students to address psychosocial barriers in patient discharge planning.
  • Used post-consultation surveys to assess student knowledge, attitudes, and patient experience.
  • Categorized and counted psychosocial interventions proposed by students.
  • First-year student participation rate was 99% with high satisfaction ratings for the program.
  • Patients rated student communication skills positively, averaging 3.3 or higher on a 4-point scale.
  • Students performed an average of 5.2 interventions per consult, targeting transportation and primary care follow-ups.
