Lifelong Learner and Teacher
We value the role of residents as educators of the next generation of medical professionals. We offer all residents opportunities to hone their skills as clinical educators. We offer training in giving effective feedback, bedside teaching, and innovative approaches to didactics.
- Academic Half Day: Four hours weekly on Tuesday afternoons of dedicated educational time for all residents. Modalities include lectures, game-based learning, hand-on workshops, small-group discussions and more.
- Journal Club: Educating residents on how to perform critical appraisal of research and integrate into practice to support evidence-based medical practice.
- Quality Improvement in Patient Safety (QIPS): Monthly sessions to identify adverse patient outcomes or near-misses that occur due to medical errors, to create a climate of openness to discuss and learn from medical errors, and to prevent the recurrence of these errors.
- Morning Report: Case-based discussion led by residents 4 times each week, with a focus on developing a differential diagnosis, clinical decision-making and management, and highlighting a learning point. Curious about what this looks like?
- Board Review and Ask and Answer: Weekly sessions utilizing multiple-choice board review questions led by 3rd year residents, chief residents and faculty.
