Physicians are life-long learners and have a role as a life-long educator.
The Residents as Teachers program is part of the Foundations in Education Series for MedStar residents and fellows. The program provides an introduction to the basic skills for residents to become more effective teachers as they work alongside students, peers, health care professionals, and their patients. This program highlights the importance of creating a safe and effective learning environment as well as providing and receiving feedback. This program offers additional resources for professional development around medical education.
