Yudkowsky R, Riddle J, Gelula M, Cannon B. Teaching Skills Program for Residents, Part I. MedEdPORTAL Publications; 2008. The first workshop, held during new resident orientation, introduces first-year residents to brief clinical teaching and giving feedback. Subsequent workshops reinforce this material and focus on other teaching skills. Each 1.5 hour long workshop is highly interactive. Workshop structure is based upon Kolb's experiential learning theory. Through PowerPoint presentations, trigger tapes, role play, games and models residents learn and practice teaching skills that are relevant to their work in inpatient and outpatient settings.

♥Newman L, Tibbles C, Atkins K, Burgin S, Fisher L, Kent T, Smith C, Aluko A, Ricciotti H. Resident-as-Teacher DVD Series. MedEdPORTAL Publications; 2015. We developed this DVD, accompanying guides, and resources to help program directors, clinician educators, and residents take the first step in implementing a resident-as-teacher training program. The intent is to provide a platform that allows for efficient but comprehensive training of five essential clinical teaching topics. The DVD series may be used as part of a resident self-study program, as the basis of a facilitator-led teaching series for house staff, or as preparatory material for "flipped" classroom-type sessions.

Bringing Education and Service Together (BEST): Resident Physicians' Curriculum in Clinical Teaching Skills. UC Irvine. This longitudinal teaching skills program for generalist residents can be conducted by residency faculty in about 15 hours, primarily during one-hour conferences. Modules include: (1) leading teams/role modeling, (2) orienting learners, (3) giving feedback, (4) bedside teaching, (5) teaching procedures, (6) group teaching/inpatient work rounds, (7) teaching charting, and (8) giving mini-lectures. During each session, interdisciplinary groups of residents discuss teaching skills and actively practice the skills in pairs or trios. Each resident teaches "standardized learners" (portrayed by classmates using teaching cases) for approximately ten minutes per session, and then receives feedback using checklists based on the Stanford Faculty Development Program.

Tews M, Quinn-Leering K, Fox C, Simonson J, Ellinas E, Lemen P. Residents as Educators: Giving Feedback. MedEdPORTAL Publications; 2014. This resource is designed to help develop residents and fellows as teachers of medical students. The content addresses an aspect of teaching that many housestaff find challenging – that of providing effective formative feedback to medical students on clinical rotations. The materials provided can help improve housestaff feedback and meet Liaison Committee on Medical Education and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education expectations regarding interpersonal and communication skills education. There are two interactive presentations with associated video vignettes for instructor use in large or small groups as well as instructor guides.
