Abstract
Role model can enable students to discover knowledge embedded in clinical practice. Working with and observing a mentor enables students, through a process of reflection, to internalize their mentor’s behavior and build on previous knowledge and experience. Role modeling is especially important during clinical experiences where students learn how to relate to patients, assess the situation, and make decisions.
