Nationally, medical students report higher rates of anxiety, depression, burnout, and suicidal ideation (up to 11%) compared to age-matched peers. The LCME now requires schools to maintain “an effective system of counseling services that promote [student] well-being.” While recent studies suggest student-led wellness…

Clinical psychology doctoral students do not universally have primary or team-based care experiences. Likewise, student healthcare professionals may not interact with clinical psychologists in primary care, as this role is still emerging. Therefore, as a requirement, students in the Clinical PsyD program at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine shadow physicians and their accompanying medical students for four hours in clinic. Students may attend brief chart rounds, patient…

Background:Amblyopia is the most common cause of preventable vision loss in children. Eye patching therapy is an effective treatment, but adherence remains a critical barrier, especially among families with limited health literacy or access to consistent education. Caregivers often report difficulty understanding treatment goals, struggling with daily routines, and receiving minimal hands-on support. To address this gap, this interprofessional quality improvement initiative involving…

This study analyzed self-reflections from second-year medical (DO) students who co-led interprofessional education (IPE) sessions with Clinical Psychology doctoral (PsyD) students as an IPE requirement. Leadership training was integrated into the curriculum by scaffolding the learning experiences across cohorts. This project introduces a…
