“…The Millennial Generation of health care students embodies a unique set of characteristics and values, and are prepared to face the ambiguities and challenges of current education. They are more intrinsically motivated than previous generations (Luthar, 2017;Ommering and Dekker, 2017;Chung et al, 2018;Sahoo and Mohammed, 2018), and the development of IM is crucial in their training in skills that extend beyond content and curriculum (Brass et al, 2017;Eidson et al, 2018).…”

“…The online environment already exerts great influence on education, and present‐day students prefer easily accessible technological options for learning (Tanaka et al, ; Croffoot et al, ; Lysak et al, ). However, providing such options to students is often challenging for educators (Puertas et al, ; Shatto and Erwin, ), as many lack the motivation (Cook and Artino, ; Abdel Meguid and Khalil, ) or technological expertise (Ommering and Dekker, ; Luthar, ) to incorporate these tools in their teaching repertoire.…”

“…The importance of mentoring is underscored by the universal acknowledgment by millennial students across all health care disciplines that this experience can alleviate stress at critical points in their academic journey (Tanaka et al, ; Puertas et al, ; Luthar, ). Students report that effective mentoring prepared them to learn from their errors (Budden et al, ; Ommering and Dekker, ), and fostered an openness to failures (Croffoot et al, ; Hennessy et al, ). Optimal mentorship has also been reported to provide students with altruistic guidance (Abeysekera and Dawson, ), clarity (Fernandes et al, ; Gibson, ), and moral and institutional support (Kirch and Ast, ; Walker et al, ) and aided in building resilience (Kong et al, ; Nuffer et al, ; Khalil et al, ).…”

There has been a fundamental change in health care pedagogy to address the demands and challenges posed by the present generation of millennial students. There is also a growing recognition of the role of intrinsic motivation as a catalyst in a positive learning experience. The term intrinsic motivation refers to energizing behavior that comes from within an individual and develops due to an inherent interest in the activity at hand. However, stimulating intrinsic motivation in the present generation of millennial health care students is a daunting task, considering their diverse and disparate nature. In addition, the inherent generational differences between educators and students, and an increasing emphasis on technological tools have resulted in a dichotomy in the educational environment leading to the development of a greater incidence of burnouts among students. Hence, numerous innovative techniques have been introduced in health care education to enhance the levels of intrinsic motivation in these students. Unfortunately, most of these approaches have only been moderately successful due to their limited ability to address the unique educational expectations of millennial students. The cumulative evidence suggests that specific approaches to stimulate intrinsic motivation should aim at nurturing the learning efforts of students, bridging the generational barriers between educators and students, and ameliorating the stress associated with health care education. Hence, the specific aim of this narrative review is to suggest empirically proven curricular strategies and institutional reforms to enhance intrinsic motivation in health care students belonging to the Millennial Generation.

Physician-scientists are urgently needed to make progress in the dynamic world of medical healthcare. Currently, there is a worldwide shortage in physicians pursuing a scientific career. Actively engaging students in research in early stages of medical training could help to direct students towards a scientific career and contribute to creating the next generation of physicianscientists. Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) implemented an extracurricular Honors program with a fundamental orientation towards research. The program starts in the second year of medical training and is comprised of four different tracks in order to attract multiple types of students with different interests. All four tracks offer students scholarly experiences, but differ in content and amount of provided structure. The LUMC Honors program has a clear goal to develop future physician-scientists, and combined with its unique multiple-track model, the program accommodates about 70 students (25%) each year. The number of students in the program has grown and students' experiences are positive.
