Figure 2. Satisfaction with student educational support and guidance by class. The breakdown of student satisfaction with the educational guidance and support at our institution by academic year, as assessed by the five-point Likert scale.

Figure 3. The ‘Iceberg’ of medical information. Depiction of the concept of the ‘iceberg’ of medical information in which students are provided with vast quantities of information and must determine a method for drawing a ‘water line.’ Developing the ability to draw this line is an important part of medical education, as it helps to differentiate between higher- and lower-yield information.
Figure 4. Results of seminar series survey. Results from the post-course survey depicting student attendance (A); overall helpfullness of the course in terms of guidance and support (B); and projected student anxiety without the course (C).
