Participants were internal medicine residents (postgraduate year [PGY]-1, PGY-2, and PGY-3) and attending physicians. Teachers were PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents, and learners were PGY-1 residents. Residents’ teaching on rounds was observed and characterized according to resident demographics, specific teaching methods, and length of time. Participants completed a survey with Likert scale and free-text questions.Results and conclusion: Among 136 surveys across 28 separate teaching encounters, we noted that PGY-3 residents’ teaching was rated significantly better than PGY-2 residents’ teaching. Teaching lasting >1 minute was rated significantly better than teaching lasting Keywords: internal medicine, resident teaching, mixed methods, direct observation |
