Objective:
To determine whether teaching skill is associated with knowledge or clinical performance in Obstetrics and Gynecology residents, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thailand

A questionnaire evaluating residents' teaching skills was completed by medical students using a global rating scale. The results were compared with the residents' score from in-training examination and clinical performance score from the medical staff Correlation between teaching skill and knowledge, teaching skill, and performance was done by using bivariate correlation.
Results:
Forty-nine medical-students were enrolled to evaluate residents' teaching skills. Twenty-eight Obstetrics and Gynecology residents were evaluated in the present study. The correlation between teaching skill and knowledge was not significant (r = 0.066; p = 0.25). The correlation between teaching skill and clinical performance was not significant (r = 0.172; p = 0.28). However clinical performance and knowledge showed a significant correlation (r = 0.558; p = 0.002).
Conclusion:
Clinical performance and knowledge had no correlation with teaching skill in Obstetrics and Gynecology residents. However results of the present study show that clinical performance and knowledge had positive correlation. Training courses are recommended to increase residents' abilities in the range of teaching skills.
