Student Expectations
Part of the mentoring process is developing shared
expectations about performance. This is especially true for new students who
are trying to figure out what is expected of them. I have developed three
documents to help this process along. They are intended to facilitate an open
conversation to develop a shared understanding of expectations. If you are a
student considering working with LOCOS, please download and read.
Expectations
handout. This document explains the expectations for students working with
LOCOS. All students working in LOCOS should read this.
Sample letter of
recommendation. This document gives examples of mediocre (i.e. bad), good,
and outstanding letters. If you want an outstanding letter, please read this
document before choosing to join LOCOS.
Information for
medical students wanting to do a month research rotation. Medical students
face a special challenge when doing research: their dedicated research time is
limited to the summer between M1 and M2 years and a one-month research
rotation. Often students consider this time as a vacation and take it less
seriously than their clinical rotations. Such an approach is problematic,
especially when the student expects an Honors grade. Having faced this problem
in the past, I developed this document. It lays out my approach to grading
medical students doing research rotations with LOCOS. Note that the M1 summer
experience is ungraded; this document applies to one-month research rotations.
However, the concepts contained in the document are also relevant to summer
research after the M1 year.
