A Systematic Approach to Working With Medical Learners in Difficulty: A Faculty Development Workshop.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

For medical educators, applying a systematic approach to working with struggling learners (learners in difficulty) can improve faculty success and satisfaction with the remediation process. Use of the familiar SOAP diagnostic framework can ensure that faculty develop a thorough differential diagnosis and target their interventions to address underlying issues affecting learner success.

Methods

We developed a workshop to teach medical education faculty essential skills for supporting learners in difficulty. Teaching methods included didactic presentation, large-group discussion, and small-group work with role-plays. Over three 2-hour sessions, participants learned to assess a learner in difficulty, develop an initial remediation plan, and evaluate their learning
