Understanding where a learner is in their educational journey helps you tailor your teaching and supervision. A first-year medical student requires opportunities to observe, practise fundamental skills, and understand how experienced clinicians think. A clerk is expected to assess patients, develop differential diagnoses, and contribute to patient management under supervision. Residents, as licensed physicians, are refining the knowledge, judgement, efficiency, and leadership required for independent practice while increasingly supervising more junior learners. Every learner, regardless of stage, benefits from clear expectations, opportunities to participate, constructive feedback, and coaching that helps them become thoughtful, compassionate physicians capable of serving the people and communities of Manitoba.

Our learners have been taught to:

• Integrate biomedical science with clinical reasoning from the beginning of medical school. (Clinical reasoning course)
• Consider population health, social accountability, and the social determinants of health in patient care. (Population Health Course)
• Approach patient care through the principles of cultural safety and Indigenous health. (Indigenous Health Course)
• Seek and use feedback as part of continuous learning.
• Work collaboratively within interprofessional healthcare teams. (IPC learning experiences)
• Develop progressively toward independent clinical practice through graduated responsibility.
