For example, some mentors are great sponsors. In fact, a clinician educator's PNC is akin to a board of directors in the business world. A board of directors determines the direction and strategic plan of a company,2 while a PNC helps a clinician educator strategically navigate academia and provides career guidance.It can be challenging to create a PNC. To choose membership for your PNC, we propose taking an active and self-reflective role. Ask where you see yourself in the future and perform a personal value assessment.3 Then, brainstorm with your PNC on how to achieve your goals.

However, this change has given rise to a \"shadow economy of effort,\" as students move away from traditional didactic and clinical learning to engage in increasing numbers of research, volunteer, and work experiences to enhance their residency applications. These extracurricular efforts to secure a residency position are sub-phenomena of the hidden curriculum. Medical schools do not officially require all the activities students need to be most competitive for residency selection; therefore, students, as rational actors, participate in the activities they think will most help them succeed.Here, the authors frame residency application and selection as a complex adaptive system (CAS), which self-organizes without centralized control or hierarchical intent. Individuals in a CAS operate in environments marked by volatility, randomness, and uncertainty-all of which are abundant in the residency selection process. Outcomes in such systems, like the development of a shadow economy, are novel, emergent, and cannot always be anticipated. To address these challenges, the authors suggest the need for deep understanding of the system's elements, interrelationships, and dynamics, including feedback loops and emergent properties. Optimizing the results of a CAS requires incentivizing outcomes over activities, ensuring open information flow, and engaging in continuous monitoring and evaluation.The current pass/fail era and resultant shadow economy of effort risk creating a triple harm by devaluing clinical excellence, burning out medical students, and potentially producing superficial, or worse inauthentic, academic and community work. Medical educators must optimize residency application and selection for cooperative outcomes and design incentives to ensure the outputs of medical education align student, institutional, patient, and societal goals. Without a set of predictive \"answers,\" the authors suggest a process of determining actions to advance this ultimate aim and reduce harm.</p>","PeriodicalId":50929,"journal":{"name":"Academic Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142958400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, ASL changed overall scores by more than the mean difference between years of training for nearly 1 in 4 learners. The mean delta method was able to quantify ASL and identify outlier lenient and stringent assessors. It was also used to quantify the net effect of ASL on individual trainees.

Curricula covering SDOH-related concepts have increased over time. Of the included articles, 190 (65.7%) referenced at least 1 of NASEM's 5 key activities. Training on social risk screening and other awareness activities were noted most frequently [123 (42.6%)], followed by curricula on helping patients get social care [assistance; 86 (29.8%)] and providing social risk-adjusted health care [adjustment; 81 (28.0%)].
