Teaching Senior Block (OPD 2)

During the 2nd Outpatient block, senior residents will participate in several teaching activities.  The rotation provides opportunities for senior residents to practice their teaching skills.

 

1.     Clinic Precepting (PIC)- During this activity, residents will work alongside clinic preceptors to hear ambulatory presentations from PGY I residents. In those case discussions, the Teaching Resident will be expected to be the lead discussant and guide the interns in making diagnostic and therapeutic management decisions.  We also encourage residents to go to the bedside to verify history or physical finding.  On assigned dates, check with the preceptors in both Rm 231 and 214 to find out which area has the most intern that afternoon.

2.     Chief Rounds-In this activity, the teaching resident will be expected to conduct an informal didactic teaching session for Team Interns and medical students. The teaching session can be conducted at the bedside or in the conference room. Formats usually include teaching on a specific topic, skill set, or discussing clinical reasoning in a case. Each resident will be assigned ~3 teaching senior afternoons each OPD block. Chief Rounds takes place 3-4pm in the Morning Report Room.  (Housestaff library during recruitment season)

 

3.     Physical Diagnosis Teaching (Thu 2-5pm) – Teaching Residents will join the Foundations of Clinical Medicine Class. This class introduces medical students to the physical exam, medical history-taking, and clinical reasoning –preparing them for the basics of clinical work and the wards. You will be working with a group of 4 students and a preceptor.  Dr. Gowda will be emailing you in advance with more information.  Take this opportunity to review your own physical exam skills and reread Bates.

 

4.     Senior Talk- Residents should feel free to use their “Teaching Senior” assigned time to prepare for this activity. More information from the Chiefs on how to prepare for your Senior Talk.
