More medical schools are incorporating wellness activities and the medical humanities into their curriculum. Finding implementable programming that is feasible and enjoyable is challenging. Both student participants and faculty who might facilitate programs are busy with clinical and educational responsibilities. Book club discussions in general are an activity that bring people together and expose groups to literature. In medical education, informal books clubs have been shown to increase camaraderie and expose participants to topics in medicine that they may not have encountered without the structure of the group assignment. At one large private urban medical school, all fourth year medical students were required to participate in a one-time hour-long book discussion with a faculty member one week before Match Day 2021. This paper describes the implementation of that program and discusses survey results from 179 students who broadly indicated that the books were enjoyable, the discussions were enriching, and that the program should continue for future classes of medical students.
越来越多的医学院将健康活动和医学人文学科纳入课程。找到可行且有趣的实施计划具有挑战性。学生参与者和可能促进项目的教师都忙于临床和教育职责。读书俱乐部讨论通常是一项将人们聚集在一起并使团体接触文学作品的活动。在医学教育中，非正式的读书俱乐部已被证明可以增进友谊，并使参与者接触到他们在没有小组作业结构的情况下可能不会遇到的医学主题。在一所大型私立城市医学院，所有四年级医学生都必须在 2021 年 Match Day 前一周与一名教师进行一次一小时的读书讨论。本文介绍了该计划的实施情况，并讨论了来自 179 名学生的调查结果，他们普遍表示这些书很有趣，讨论很有收获，并且该计划应该继续为未来的医学生课程提供。
