The
COE Clinical Teaching Skills course was a revelation for me. I feel I have
gained some precious insights into how I can become more effective teacher and
learner. In medical school, I and my friends used to often joke about how
medical knowledge “evaporates” so quickly. But now I know several ways by which
I can “soak” it. Apart from using the knowledge gotten from the course to hone
my teaching skills, I am also strongly considering sharing teaching/learning
tips with my less privileged friends and colleagues in India who cannot attend
this course.

I
believe it is valuable not only for residents and fellows but for any
student/teacher at any level. I really wish I had been exposed to this training
when I was in high school, I would have been a more prepared student during
exams and later in medical school.
I
have now modified the way I provide feedback to residents and medical students.
I love the concept of treating feedback as a dialogue, and not a monologue. My
residents appear more comfortable when I discuss their evaluation with them.
As
an aspiring academician, soon to wear the faculty hat, I feel more confident
about the transition where I would be expected to give classes to medical
students and residents regularly, all thanks to this course.
I
want course organizers to seriously consider holding it more frequently so that
more people can benefit from it.
