Our goal is to collaborate and continue to build a
Consortium of Medical Schools
to support medical learners as they transition to hospitals across the US.
What the consortium is saying:
Heather Roth, Education Program Manager“The Night On Call platform is incredibly slick and efficient. Far more so than any other platform we’ve used. It drastically reduces and even eliminates an incredible amount of work for our administrative team. It’s also far more user friendly and comprehensive for our medical students and faculty.”
Dr. Maureen Francis, Texas Tech“Night on call is a great way for our graduating students to test their skills in preparation for residency and for our program overall to continually improve our curriculum."
Dr. Dawn Dewitt, WSU“Students appreciate the “just-in-time” chance to practice skills with standardized patients, nurses and attendings. They also appreciate the detailed feedback and would highly recommend NOC to future students.”
“Faculty have praised the content as important and timely – and have eagerly volunteered to participate in future NOC activities. Finally, it has allowed us to triangulate our students’ skills with their clerkship grades and internal OSCE scores, giving us robust feedback for our program.”
Georgia Westbrook, NYU Grossman School of MedicineA comment provided in our most recent evaluation for the program sums it up, with the student writing:
“I think the most memorable part of NOC was the emotions the scenarios elicited. Across the different cases, I experienced a wide variety of positive and negative emotions. Honestly, I would say the most persistent one was anxiety. Being designated as the responsible healthcare provider and the first point of contact for several different patients over a short time period is undoubtedly anxiety-provoking but I recognize how practicing this is crucial for what I will face next year. I also had moments where I felt proud or confident, which I attribute to building a solid knowledge base over the course of medical school. It was nice to have an experience to tie together all of the skills we have been practicing over the years, as well as new skills that we will spend the rest of our careers developing.’”
Consortium Members
The consortium works together all year around and coalesce 2-3 times a year to discuss issues related to the undergraduate to graduate transition. As a group we:Evolve existing cases and develop new clinical cases, activities and assessment related to internship preparationEstablish performance benchmarks for graduating medical students,Evolve the comprehensive data reporting for students, faculty and administration in the NOC application,Study the readiness-for-internship on a large scale, and disseminate to conferences and journals.
The consortium consists of the following schools and is growing.
