“…As most of our students form part of the millennial generation, it is possible that many grew up in a very child-focussed world exposed to the so-called 'helicopter parents'. 24 These parents are overprotective of their children and overinvolved in their lives. Students who were exposed to such an upbringing may now, upon coming into the clinical environment, potentially have the need for the same 'anxious hovering' 24 from their teachers.…”

“…24 These parents are overprotective of their children and overinvolved in their lives.

We as teachers can meet this need by ensuring accessibility and approachability or even take it a step further by providing a mentoring programme.…”

Background: Globally, the appropriate transformation of medical training is critical to ensure the graduation of competent physicians who can address the growing health needs.Aim: To explore medical students’ perceptions of their learning experience during the undergraduate psychiatry late clinical rotation (PLCR) at Stellenbosch University (SU) and to use the findings to make possible recommendations regarding curriculum renewal.Setting: In recognition of this, the Department of Psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of SU is reviewing its current teaching and learning practices.Methods: Data were collected from two focus groups.Results: Three main themes emerged: ‘learning in the clinical context’, ‘gaining knowledge’ and ‘generational needs’. Whilst several suggestions were made for potential improvement, the participants still endorsed that the PLCR does provide them with a good learning experience in psychiatry.Conclusions: Considering that these perceptions are from a group of millennials, the insights arising from the ‘generational needs’ theme were especially valuable. To bridge the generational gap and develop a curriculum that will not only meet the standards expected by educators but also achieve acceptance from learners, future research with a specific focus on clinical teachers’ perceptions is needed.

“…2 However, there are contextual factors that tempt clinicians instead to retreat, reward, rescue or retaliate. Apart from the latter two phenomena which are discussed elsewhere, 3,4 the purpose of this paper is to continue to examine why this might be the case. It includes legal and ethical concerns, consideration of the person's biological capacity for change, the fear of being considered authoritarian and an honesty surrounding 'self-imposed, impossible tasks'.…”
