This medical education rotation enhanced resident physicians' teaching confidence and skills. While it improved bedside teaching abilities, its impact on career decisions toward academic medicine was limited.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Graduate Medical Education
- Academic Medicine
Background:
- Resident physicians require formal teaching curricula to prepare for expanding responsibilities.
- Current graduate medical education often lacks practical examples of teaching skills development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To expose senior residents to medical education (MedEd) principles.
- To enhance resident physicians' teaching skills.
- To encourage careers in academic emergency medicine.
Main Methods:
- A one-month Medical Education rotation for PGY-3 residents.
- Included supervised clinical shifts, simulation-based teaching, and a MedEd project.
- Utilized readings on education theory, curriculum design, and feedback.
Main Results:
- Improved resident confidence in bedside teaching (median 3/5 to 4/5).
- 77% of residents intended to use learned techniques.
- Simulation-based and clinical teaching shifts were rated highest.
Conclusions:
- The Medical Education rotation effectively improved teaching confidence.
- The rotation had a limited impact on career decisions in academic emergency medicine.
- Interactive, faculty-supervised activities were most valued.
