Phenomenon: Clerkship is a challenging transition during which medical students must learn to navigate the responsibilities of medical school and clinical medicine. We explored how clerks understand their roles as both medical learners and developing professionals and some of the tensionss that arise therein. Understanding how the clinical learning environment shapes the clerkship role can help educators foster compassionate care. Approach: We conducted 5 focus groups and 1 interview with 3rd-year medical students (n = 14) at University of Toronto between January and June 2016 regarding the perceived role of the clerk, compassionate care, assessment and feedback. Data were analyzed thematically. Findings: In addition to transitioning to a new learning environment, clerkship students assume different roles in response to complex and often competing expectations from preceptors. We identified three main themes: learning to impress preceptors with varying expectations, providing compassionate care-sometimes supported by preceptors, other times being secondary to efficiency-and passing assessments that required a different skill set than simply being a good clerk. Insights: Clerks perceive their role as providing compassionate care to patients and balance this with fulfilling the (sometimes) competing roles of being a student and developing medical professional. In a system where efficiency is often prioritized, medical students are afforded an opportunity to help satisfy the demand for greater compassion in patient-centered care.
