As a resident
trainee with a future career objective of becoming an educator in my field, the
COE clinical teaching skills course has led me one step closer towards
achieving that goal. Clinical teaching and acquiring its requisite skills are
faced with many challenges. This course allowed me to identify those obstacles,
analyze different involved aspects, and postulate feasible solutions.
Furthermore, it has provided me with a clearer perspective on the critically
important learning element of feedback. Constructive criticism is an art and
science which has the ability to elevate both learners and teachers. Throughout
the course, I practiced various tools for feedback which I will be applying in
future teaching interactions.

During
residency, we trainees are given some responsibility of teaching our fellow
junior residents and students. Taking the knowledge I’ve gained through the COE
CTS course, I will be utilizing different techniques conducive to providing a
positive learning experience. Also, I am able to use key concepts discussed in
the course for my own learning journey. “Learning how to learn” is a potent
tool in succeeding to meet educational goals. In my opinion, students at all
levels should be equipped with those tools. Hopefully, in my future role as a
teacher and clinical instructor in an educational institution, I will try to
integrate this into my teaching.
