An example of a remediation program

Abstract

In this chapter, the authors briefly describe a clinical skills remediation program that developed as a result of the introduction of a comprehensive clinical skills exam for students at the end of their core clerkship year. They describe the diagnostic framework that guides their work, discuss lessons learned, and explore the impact of this remediation program on their institution. They place their work within the context of published literature on remediation in medical education and discuss experience- based best practices for developing new clinical skills remediation programs.
