Osler Apprenticeship Program: Impact of peer advising on medical student preparedness and experience in the Neurology Clerkship

To define a role for “Osler Apprentices” (OAs) as designated peer advisors for the Neurology clerkship, implement OA-led group and individual teaching sessions, and evaluate the effect of OA peer advisors on overall student experience and preparedness in the clerkship.
Clerkships can be a challenging experience for medical students, given limited time to prepare and the variable nature of clerkships’ workflow, clinical duties, and expectations. The Neurology clerkship can be particularly daunting, leading to “neurophobia”. Students often turn to peers for unofficial advice. A lack of an official clerkship peer advising paradigm may be a significant barrier for clerkship success.

Participants were Johns Hopkins medical students enrolled in the Neurology Clerkship. OAs were competitively selected senior students who completed and excelled in the clerkship. OAs developed and led a “Tips & Tricks” (T&T) teaching session during monthly clerkship orientation to provide advice on preparing for and succeeding in the clerkship. Individual peer advising sessions were also offered. Pre- and post-T&T session surveys, together with a post-clerkship survey, were used to evaluate the impact of the T&T session and the OAs overall in improving students’ preparedness and confidence during the clerkship.

 
Average attendance at T&T sessions was 86%, and average response rate on the surveys was 88%. Students reported significantly greater awareness of clerkship expectations (eg. clinical duties, workflow, and study resources), as well as significantly increased confidence in their ability to succeed in the clerkship after the T&T session and individual OA sessions (p<0.001). 
Students benefit from having OAs as official peer advisors for the Neurology Clerkship. The OA model of peer advising may counteract “neurophobia” and may have a broader positive impact on medical student clerkship experience and success if implemented in other clerkships and at other institutions.
