As they proceed to their educational endeavors, these students should acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be effective in their areas of expertise. This paper aims to discuss the role played by medical and health science students in being students' champions. These factors include knowledge and skill, commitment to patient care and communication, and ethical decision-making. Also, it implies the role of individual experience in training these future professionals. Knowledge and Skills Acquisition As a result, for healthcare professionals, practice and learning in the medical and health sciences must be lifelong. Medicine is highly evolving; new therapies, equipment, and approaches are being developed all the more frequently. Hence, being in touch with the latest trends that help offer better care services is pertinent. Sequential yet autonomous learning, including continuing education, is essential in medicine. Smith (2019) rightly proclaims this receptiveness to formal learning augmented by self-learning constituting the bedrock of lifelong learning adapted to healthcare. Technical competencies are also crucial in this aspect. Students must understand many processes, starting from the diagnosis, moving to treatment, and even surgery, and then they must be able to apply all this knowledge into practice. Such practical elements as internships, state actors' role modeling, and workshop discussions are extremely helpful in grounding this knowledge. Such affiliations enable these students to practice what they learn in class without encountering the challenges that characterize clinical practice. Considering the need to practice lifelong learning helps students improve healthcare practice to meet the ever-changing environment. However, technical skills are more than just clinical procedures that a professional normally performs. They define a wide spectrum of training capacities, such as the ability to diagnose, surgical skills, and patient management methods. These skills require additional training, correct practice, and implementation of the knowledge gained. Prospective osteopathic students should be given opportunities to simulate a doctor's doctor'sdoctor's doctor's role through exercises, practices, internships/clinicals, and mentorship programs, providing them with different medical compilations and administrations. This rationale is to take a comprehensive approach to acquire skills that enable the students to practice the healthcare system practices and practice. This means that medical and health science students must develop critical thinking and problem-solving competencies apart from the core clinical competencies. These requisite cognitive skills include diagnosing differential diagnoses, planning for the necessary management of admitted clients, analyzing clinical information, and problem-solving during hectic duty hours. Participation in case plans, analysis, survey activities, and necessitating prerequisite academic evidence execution develops their analytical proficiency and improves students ' comprehension of medical science. Through critical thinking, students can adopt an outcome-based approach applicable to resolving clinical problems and enhancing patient care. The last component of knowledge and skills concerns one’s capacity to keep oneself updated with current medical procedures and technological developments. The nature of this industry implies that technological advancement is very fast; hence, there is a need for training and development frequently. As for the positive impacts, medical students should know about the existing diagnostic procedures, treatment methods, and digital healthcare technologies. It empowers them to utilize the best technologies to progress patient services and streamline clinical operations. The possible outside classroom activities include conducting yourself in workshops, conferences, and online courses centered on medical technologies to learn more from students and keep them updated on the progression of medical science. Commitment to Patient Care Perhaps, the most important ingredient that defines champion in healthcare is patient care. Thus, medical and health science students should also be sensitive to patients’ needs and should respect the patients’ rights. This entails recognizing and being supportive of patients’ choices, which are crucial in rendering sensitive care and support to patients. Jones et al. (2018) opine, that besides delivering the satisfaction needed by patients, understanding patients’ needs also leads to positive health outcomes improvement. Another aspect of the commitment to patient care is obligation in regards to quality improvement and, thus, self-reviews. Due to the nature of the care approaches in the student role-play, student respondents must constantly assess the quality of their interactions. This self-analysis is rather important whether in the process of personal or professional development. Also, the organization of work in accordance to the medical teams and cooperation with other members of the healthcare staff allows for the definite scope of the patient’s problem orientation. Such collaboration is essential in facilitating patient-centered, integrated care, which in the long run is beneficial to the society’s health. More than that, patient-centered care covers not only technical contacts with patients. It entails the evaluation of biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of patients as well as their symptoms and illnesses. Medical students need to nurture both sensibility and density so as to be able to cope with these different facets of the patient care. Educational measures that increase students’ awareness of patients’ needs, proper communication, and cultural sensitivity can greatly improve students’ sense of patients’ wellbeing. Such approach also helped in the satisfaction of their patients, helps in building a good rapport between the patients and the providers of health care. Moreover, patient care means adherence to professional and ethical standards even in the most difficult sit...
