Residents play a pivotal role in the education of medical students and junior house staff but are rarely provided with the tools to help them teach effectively. Residents value their roles as teachers and desire training programs in teaching skills. Teaching skills courses for residents have been shown to improve residents' self-confidence and self-assessed use of effective teaching behaviors. They have also been shown to improve residents' evaluations by students. The Institute for Medical Education at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has developed a successful, multidisciplinary curriculum to improve the teaching and leadership skills of all of our residents at the Mount Sinai Hospital and its affiliate institutions. The Resident Teaching Development Program (RTDP) has already been implemented in the departments of Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. This adaptable, seven-hour curriculum has been well received by residents and faculty. We are currently evaluating the effects of the program on residents' confidence and use of learned skills. And we are working to expand this program to every department and to create innovative means of measuring resident competency in teaching and its ultimate effect on student learning.
住院医师在医学生和初级住院医生的教育中发挥着关键作用，但他们很少获得有助于有效教学的工具。住院医师重视他们作为教师的角色，并渴望参加教学技能培训项目。针对住院医师的教学技能课程已被证明能提高住院医师的自信心以及他们自我评估的有效教学行为的运用。这些课程还被证明能提高学生对住院医师的评价。西奈山医学院医学教育研究所开发了一个成功的多学科课程，以提高我们在西奈山医院及其附属机构的所有住院医师的教学和领导技能。住院医师教学发展项目（RTDP）已经在医学、外科、儿科、精神病学以及妇产科实施。这个适应性强的七小时课程受到了住院医师和教员的好评。我们目前正在评估该项目对住院医师自信心和所学技能运用的影响。我们正在努力将这个项目扩展到每个科室，并创造创新方法来衡量住院医师的教学能力及其对学生学习的最终影响。
