This workshop will explore the challenges and inertial barriers of identifying and solving problems in medical education with a goal of developing strategies for supporting trainees throughout their longitudinal training. As an example, we will share the process of creating a series of brief video modules on academic and professional skills for Phase 1 medical students at the University of Rochester Medical School, emphasizing the stakeholders and allies we identified and how we engaged with them, and the specific benefits and outcomes that resulted from these collaborative efforts. We will also signpost potential opportunities to apply these principles across the continuum of medical education and health professions. Participants will be invited to reflect on unsolved challenges in their own work and to engage in cycles of prompted individual thought and small- and large-group discussion to identify challenges, design solutions, share ideas, and reflect on insights. 

At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:

     1. Identify key challenges in their missions

     2. Design workable solutions to address these challenges

     3. Identify and engage relevant interdisciplinary stakeholders and allies
