Abstract:
A resident-managed program to improve teaching skills and examine residents' perceptions of teaching was conducted for internal medicine residents at Maine Medical Center. A modification of the Fewett (1982) teaching model was applied as an adjunct to an ongoing resident teaching program. Twenty-six of 29 residents voluntarily participated in a series of workshops over a 6 month period. A low attrition rate and high level of acceptance of the format were observed. Teaching programs are manageable by a senior resident and can be of potential benefit.
