Enacting a 5 minute teaching scenario
Teaching is one of the pillars of academic medicine, yet clinicians rarely receive any training in pedagogy or teaching techniques. The faculty of the Clinical Teaching Skills Course, Drs. Baker, Milligan and Shields put together an incredible one-day workshop for residents and fellows to hone our teaching skills.

Though the COE course, I learned that there is vast amount of literature on cognitive science and learning that has been studied empirically but is underutilized in medical education. GME curriculums typically focus on “what” to teach rather than “how” to teach. This course challenged me to think about my own teaching style, and the feedback culture that I want to create as a clinician educator.
