Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify the possible correlations of ‘satisfaction with clinical practice (SA)’ with ‘clinical learning environment (EN)’ and ‘clinical practice stress (ST).’ We searched for the mediating effect of ‘clinical practice stress’ on ‘satisfaction with clinical practice’ when the clinical learning environment influences ‘satisfaction with clinical practice.’
Methods This research investigated 208 medical and nursing students attending the school of medicine and nursing in Korea. The total number of nursing students was 135 (64.9%); 73 medical students participated (35.1%). We used the Korean-Undergraduate Clinical Education Environment in 24 questions for EN, ST scale in 24 questions, and SA scale in 10 questions. We performed measurement structural equation model analysis to identify a path of the model.
Results Medical students had significantly higher levels of ST. EN had a significant negative correlation with ST and a significant positive correlation with SA. The ST had a significant negative correlation with SA. The results of the goodness of fit index have fulfilled the criteria of goodness of fit. There was a significant mediating effect of ST on SA when EN influences SA.
Conclusion The clinical learning environment affected satisfaction with the clinical practice directly or indirectly mediated by clinical practice stress. Therefore, educational institutes should try to increase satisfaction with clinical practice by continuously monitoring and improving the clinical learning environment in addition to taking measures for decreasing the clinical practice stress.

Purpose This study aimed to develop a systematic career-coaching program (SCCP) that can be used by medical teaching schools to address a growing need for career-coaching. The program objectives were to help students (1) develop a comprehensive self-understanding of their aptitudes, interests, and personality traits; (2) explore possible career choices and decide on a career path; and (3) develop the competencies needed to prepare for their future careers. Methods: The SCCP was based on the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) model and decision-making questioning model. Medical professionals, medical education and career counseling experts, and students participated in designing the program. Results: The SCCP describes coaching content, tools, operational methods, and appropriate timing, and identifies the professionals and specialists who can offer their expertise in the different coaching phases. It is designed to allow medical schools to offer the program in segments or in its entirety, depending on the curriculum and environment. Conclusion: The SCCP represents a viable career-coaching program for medical students that can be applied in part or in its entirety, depending on a medical school’s curriculum and educational environment.
