Residents have an important role in the education of junior residents/intern physicians and of medical students. In addition, some residents also have a particular interest in teaching.
We are committed to all of our residents having the skills to be effective teachers for the learners on their teams. In addition to the GME Department's Resident as Educator resources, our Internal Medicine Residency Program helps prepare our interns and senior residents for their roles as medical educators through a number of different formats over the course of their 3-year training.
Additional activities are available to help those with a special interest in teaching &/or academic medicine to excel at teaching.
All of our residents have "resident as teachers" training through the following:
Intern orientation
Retreats

"VADER Retreat (June of intern year) - "Valuable Advice to Develop into an Extraordinary Resident"
