Description

It is widely accepted that residents play an integral role in educating medical students.1 It is estimated that medical students receive approximately one-third of their clinical education from residents.2 It has been demonstrated that good education from residents positively impacts medical student clerkship satisfaction and influences career choices.2 Despite the fact that residents participate in educational responsibilities and many residents want to incorporate medical education into their future careers, residencies often do not have programs that provide a foundation for developing future medical educators.3 Dedicated programs may also serve as an avenue through which residents can explore medical education careers and kickstart ways to incorporate medical education into their long-term academic goals. The presenters will discuss their experience in a longitudinal program designed to meet the needs of residents interested in medical education and assist participants in meeting these needs in their own programs. The panel consists of lead faculty in our Education Academic Community (EAC) and graduates of the program who have continued their academic work in medical education as fellows and junior faculty across multiple institutions. We will focus on three areas of medical education that we have identified as being crucial to the success of future medical educators. First, to facilitate effective resident mentorship, programs should provide appropriate faculty development for educational mentors. Second, the program should teach the foundations of medical education scholarship to residents. Third, the program should help residents acquire practical skills needed to be successful clinical teachers. With a focus on these components, workshop attendees will participate in small-group discussions with the goal of identifying gaps in their current approaches to the development of resident educators and developing intervention plans to address those gaps. Participants will share out with the group-at-large to facilitate the formation of actionable interventions aimed at the growth of resident educators.
