There is a paucity of literature on such programs and there is no documentation of longitudinal initiatives with residents serving as specialty-specific advisors to students throughout medical school. The goals of creating the RSEC were to expand and improve the student educational experiences in EM, strengthen the connection between students and EM residents, and foster resident career development through sustainable leadership and teaching opportunities. The RSEC was composed of three divisions: the Preclinical Division aimed to increase student exposure to EM through didactics, skill sessions, simulation, and shadowing; the Clinical Division intended to enhance the student experience during clinical EM rotations through simulation and skill sessions and resident-student socials; and the Mentoring Division focused on advising students applying into EM through informational panels and one-on-one resident mentorship. Outcome measures include students applying into EM residency, which saw an increase from 8.9% prior to the RSEC's creation in 2020 to 12.9% in 2023, despite a national decline in EM applicants. Survey data also indicates favorable student preclinical experiences and improved confidence in clinical skills. The RSEC model, with its structured approach, resident leadership, and clear objectives, presents a sustainable and replicable framework for other residency programs seeking to enhance medical student education and promote resident engagement in teaching. Future directions include expanding shadowing opportunities and procedural skills teaching, introducing career mentorship earlier in the medical education timeline, and tracking outcomes data for continuous assessment and improvement.</p>","PeriodicalId":37032,"journal":{"name":"AEM Education and Training","volume":"8 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141430216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
