Description

Measuring student satisfaction is just one approach in evaluating medical education programs. The results of student satisfaction surveys are used by medical schools to make curricular and service improvements; however, they have also been used by the LCME in making high stakes decisions whether medical education programs meet established standards. Recent events such as the pandemic, changes in USMLE 1 grading, generational differences and other factors have brought about new challenges for schools in meeting students' evolving needs and expectations. This panel discussion will focus on practical tips and strategies for enhancing student satisfaction levels, not only to meet LCME requirements but also to improve the overall student experience on a day-to-day basis.
