“META: An Innovative Course on Mindfully Evolving, Thriving, and Advocating for Beginning First-Year Medical Students”
The fundamental task of medical education is to transform a novice learner into an empathetic, competent and effective physician. In recent years, the idea of professional identify formation (PIF) which is the process of how one comes to “think, act and feel like a physician” has been gaining momentum in the medical education literature. PIF conceptualizes the evolution of a learner from student to physician including the internalization of shared values and norms. In developing a curriculum that thoughtfully creates opportunities to further PIF by integrating the lens of racial disparities in healthcare, social determinants of health (SDOH), and wellness, a variety of methodologies must be employed.

This resource describes an intervention to introduce Psychiatry residents in New Haven, CT to the economically disadvantaged neighborhoods they serve. This intervention is unique in that the authors created a Structural Competency Initiative with an experiential curriculum designed in collaboration with community leaders and individuals with lived experiences with mental illness (peer advocates).
