Teaching in the ED
What do EM residents want?
– attentive
– enthusiastic
– approachable
– communicative
– “takes time to teach”
– “teachable moment”
– “tailors teaching to learner”
– Have to teach quickly for learner to remain “with you”.
– 1-2 focal teaching points; avoid teaching too much
– be armed with information
– assess level of learner
Step 1. Get a Commitment
Step 2. Probe for supporting evidence
Step 3. Provide an Educational “Hit and Run”
Step 4. Positive Feedback
Step 5. Correct Mistakes
Step 6. Identify Learning steps
Enthusiasm
– The Dr. Fox effect
Appropriate Feedback
– give effective feedback
– avoid saying “good job”
– praise in public, perfect in private
– deposit into emotional bank account -> makes corrective feedback more meaningful
Centerdness (on learner)
– who are you?
– where are you from?
– what service?
– did you get lunch? bathroom?
Helpful
– professional intimacy
Elevates to be Independent
– consider who inspired you to become independent in the ED
Role Model
