I recently participated in the COE course on Clinical Skills
Teaching, and highly recommend it for anyone interested in medical education.
Though I have been interested in medical education since the beginning of
residency, I had never had any formal training in how to teach or give
feedback. In this course I gained valuable exposure into cognitive theories.
One major takeaway was the “30/70 rule” which brings to light that when a
teacher is teaching a learner a certain skill or topic, they will often only give
the learner 30% of the needed information. This is critical because it can help
us understand why a learner may not be learning the topic, and will impact how
I teach in the future.
The course also provided valuable insight on giving
feedback, and the importance of creating an environment of growth and mutual
respect, and giving direct feedback in the moment. I will use these skills as I
work with medical students and residents in this year to help foster their
learning and growth. The best part of the course was the chance to practice our
own teaching in small groups and getting to know other residents and fellows
interested in medical education
