Int J Dermatol. 2018 Feb;57(2):233-236. doi: 10.1111/ijd.13715.

Abstract

Challenge: Trainees' motivational and emotional states can influence their learning and career decisions, but historically these "affective" learning factors have received little attention in medical education. In this "Tips" piece, we outline strategies to positively influence trainees' intrinsic motivation and emotion toward their training to ultimately enhance their overall learning experience.
