This COE course allowed a space for us trainees to truly understand the complexity of medical education. It made me realize the certain characteristics that are most memorable from our favorite teachers is not knowledge alone but the ability to engage and their dedication to teaching. It has changed the way I will approach learners and how to tailor the same educational session to varying levels of students.  A current technique I am using is to engage learners more often in a session which allows me, the teacher, to truly appreciate their understanding of the knowledge. This then allows for tailored and more meaningful education.
