Welcome to the Holistic Student Support Tools & Resources Submission Site
Established in 2022 under AAMC's Action Plan 4, the Holistic Student Support Working Group’s charge is to curate or generate tools fostering effective coordination of student services and educational affairs. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support to a diverse pool of medical students.
To advance this goal, we invite submissions of resources and tools that will enrich our "Considerations for Holistic Student Support" document, created by our working group. Holistic Student Support, as we define it, is an inclusive approach that emphasizes the academic, personal, and professional well-being of medical students. It leverages resources and interventions that foster the overall health and successful navigation of Medical School Critical Junctures during their medical school journey.
These critical junctures are defined as pivotal points in a student's academic path that may impact their successful completion of medical school. These serve as notable milestones set by the institution to monitor and foster student progression towards graduation.
Currently, our focus is on the Academic Performance and Progression juncture. We are seeking tools and resources that can guide medical schools in facilitating students through this stage. The tools we are seeking fall into the following categories:
- Coordinated Communication and Collaboration
- Integrated Student Support
- Infrastructure to Support Academic Performance and Progession
Review Process
All submitted resources will undergo review by the Holistic Student Support Working Group. Approved resources will be hosted in the Holistic Student Support Virtual Community. (Sign-up/Login required.)
The review process will consider:
- Accessibility - Effort and resources necessary to access the resource
- Usability - Implementation effort and ease of use
- Adaptability - Suitability for diverse applications
- Resource evaluation - Shared as appropriate
In contributing to this effort, you'll play a crucial role in enhancing the journey of medical students, ensuring their success at every juncture. Let's collectively shape an inclusive and supportive learning environment that embraces diversity and promotes success for all.
