THINGS THAT WORKED QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

 Timing of teaching sessions
 Duration of sessions (respect for the other
work that trainees need to get done)
 Relevant/applicable topics
 Clearly thought about the level of
knowledge of all learners and provided
some more basic background on topics
before launching into more specifics
 I got very positive feedback from the
residents who worked with us for the week
specifically on Nick’s dedication to
teaching and teaching style

 In areas that are not as conducive to
learning, make sure that all participants are
able to be part of the group (we had a larger
than average group of learners for the
week)
 Continue to work on trying to engage the
individual learners more with questions and
provide immediate feedback to their
responses, using even incorrect responses to
make a quick teaching point
Other Comments: Nick continues to improve on his on the fly clinical/bedside teaching. I felt that he had
a much better plan for the timing and duration of his quick sessions, so as not to interfere with efficient
patient care
