  1. Residents as Teachers: Self-perception of preparedness before and after an educational intervention Eduardo Pino, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine Marshall University

  2. Background • Residents are an invaluable tool in the education of medical students. • However, very little time is spent in preparing them to be effective teachers.

  3. Objective • The purpose of this study was to evaluate residents’ self perception as teachers before and after an intervention to present effective teaching methods.

  4. Methods • Pediatric house staff attended a seminar consisting of three one-hour lectures providing guidance on effective teaching techniques. • Subjects included organization/leadership, teaching skills, and feedback. • Participants were involved in role playing scenarios.

  5. Methods • Pre- and post seminar questionnaires were administered evaluating participants’ perception of teaching preparedness. • Results were summarized using a five point Likert scale. • Data was collected from 2004-2006.

  6. Methods • The sessions were enjoyable. • I feel well prepared to teach. • I have confidence in my teaching ability. • My anxiety level regarding teaching is at a “healthy level”. • I am aware of what is expected of me as a teacher.

  7. Results • All residents found the sessions enjoyable (mean score 4.7). • Mean number of sessions attended = 2.5
