Studentshapers is an ICL-funded scheme where students get to work as partners alongside staff to engage deeply in education-projects. Reflection and resilience are some of the critical transferable skills that are increasingly important in the workplace and are demanded by employers. Resilience is a complex multifactorial phenomenon and very little research has been done in this area with respect to postgraduate STEMM students. In this ongoing project we are working with Postgraduate Medicine-MRes students to understand their perceptions of resilience and probe if resilience can be developed through critical reflection over the course of their study. Finally, Studentshapers will also propose strategies for embedding resilience development into postgraduate curricula.
