Background: Latest medical education guidelines in the UK stress the need for
doctors to be capable reflective practitioners. However, traditional cultures and
methods within medical education departments develop and deliver reflective
programmes that are mechanistic and ineffective. This paper describes two
programmes run for medical students at two different UK universities based on
Reflective digital storytelling principles, and their outcomes.
Methods: The Patient Voices Reflective Digital Storytelling process was used to
provide reflective opportunities for medical students at the University of Leicester
(N=5) in 2008 and Kings College London (N=4) in 2014. In both cases the
normal process was adapted to suit student timetables, examination schedules,
etc. Experience running Patient Voices Reflective Digital Storytelling workshops
for newly-qualified nurses, etc. was used to inform facilitative approaches.
Different adaptations were needed in each institution.
Results: In both cases all students created reflective stories. Several (N=6) found
the process so engaging they created two stories. Student feedback in both cases
was powerfully positive, with students arguing at the launch of the stories created
for universal adoption of this approach to reflection within their institutions.
Students reported bonding as a group and feeling greater empathy with patients
while on placement.
Conclusions: Digital storytelling can provide the basis for a methodology within
which medical students can deeply and effectively reflect on experiences of
personal life, training and early practice, but key to this is ensuring a safe
facilitative environment within which they can truly reflect rather than merely fill
in reflection forms.
