Overview

• Introduction

  As a learner, we know you’re continuously striving to improve your core knowledge and skills… but have you ever considered teaching to be one of these critical skills? The importance of your role as a teacher and a role model cannot be overstated. Residents, for example, spend up to a quarter of their time teaching, and medical students receive up to one-third of their clinical teaching from residents. Highlighting the important role that residents play in educating medical students, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education’s (LCME’s) Standards for Accreditation of Medical Education Programs assert that residents who teach medical students must be prepared for their roles as teachers, and formal evaluations of the teaching and assessment skills of residents must be provided. This page is being developed to guide you in this important role.
