Abstract:
While the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the way medical educators develop and deliver content, it has also presented an opportunity for innovation. As students, trainees, and faculty design new curricula and employ new learning modalities, primary and secondary school offer a wealth of teaching strategies and ideas for medical education. In this Personal View, the authors share their experience as former middle school teachers and current medical students to offer five valuable teaching strategies - backwards planning, the 5E model, setting norms, scaffoldings, and checks for understanding (CFUs) - for medical educators to incorporate into their practice.
