Abstract

Pre-health professions learners are physically mature adults. However, in early adulthood, cognitive and emotional development are incomplete, and the transition to higher education presents a challenge for learners. The academic environment is demanding, requiring strong will, advanced skill, and self-regulation ability. Even exceptional learners may struggle. With so many variables, how can pre-health professions educators best support learner success? The goal of this chapter is to establish the model of strategic learning as a foundation for identifying and adopting strategies that support learner success. Here, the authors present the model of strategic learning and each of its four components: academic environment, skill, will, and self-regulation. Within each section, the authors discuss the impact of these on learner success and make recommendations to cultivate a strategic academic environment in pre-health professions programs. The authors conclude by justifying a holistic approach to developing pre-health profession learners into strategic learners.
