Week 1: The Contribution of Basic Science Education to the Professional Identity Development of Medical Learners
Presented by Drs. Candace Chow and Emine Ercikan Abali on March 6, 2025
In this session, the presenters will discuss why it is important to understand how basic science and professional identity development are connected. They will present findings from their recently published critical scoping review on how basic science education contributes to professional identity development. They will also share examples of how the publication’s findings have informed changes in teaching at their institutions.

Week 2: Reducing the Basic Sciences Curriculum: Ensuring Students are Adequately Prepared
Presented by Drs. Robert Lebeau and Malvika Kaul on March 13, 2025
The imperative to reduce and redistribute the basic sciences curriculum in undergraduate medical education is fraught with challenges. Schools engage in reduction of their basic sciences curriculum for different reasons, but in all instances schools must confront the question of whether students are adequately prepared for their new curriculum and whether they are adequately prepared for what follows. We will explore the challenges and opportunities of student preparation for USMLE Step 1, clerkships, and lifelong learning in reduced basic sciences curricula and present practical examples of approaches to identifying opportunities to support students from the moment they enter the preclerkship curriculum.
