Despite limited preparation and knowledge base, surgical interns have important teaching responsibilities. Nevertheless, few faculty development programs are aimed at interns.
Succinct teaching skill content was electronically distributed over time (spaced education) to interns in academic year 2010/2011. The interns in the previous year served as historic controls. Electronic surveys were distributed for program evaluation.
Fifteen of 24 (62.5%) interns and 35 of 49 (71.4%) students responded to the surveys in academic year 2009/2010 and 16 of 27 (59.3%) interns and 38 of 52 (73%) students responded in academic year 2010/2011. Surveys showed improved attitudes toward teaching by interns as well as a higher estimation of interns' teaching skills as rated by students for those interns who received the spaced education program.
Using spaced education to improve interns' teaching skills is a potentially powerful intervention that improves interns' enthusiasm for teaching and teaching effectiveness. The changes are mirrored in students' ratings of interns' teaching skills and interns' attitudes toward teaching.
尽管外科实习医生准备有限且知识基础薄弱，但他们仍承担着重要的教学责任。然而，很少有针对实习医生的师资发展项目。
在 2010/2011 学年，将简明的教学技能内容通过电子方式分阶段（间隔式教育）分发给实习医生。前一年的实习医生作为历史对照组。为项目评估分发了电子调查。
在 2009/2010 学年，24 名实习医生中有 15 名（62.5%）和 49 名学生中有 35 名（71.4%）对调查做出了回应；在 2010/2011 学年，27 名实习医生中有 16 名（59.3%）和 52 名学生中有 38 名（73%）对调查做出了回应。调查显示，接受间隔教育计划的实习医生对教学的态度有所改善，学生对实习医生教学技能的评价也有所提高。
使用间隔教育来提高实习医生的教学技能是一种潜在的有力干预措施，可以提高实习医生对教学的热情和教学效果。这些变化反映在学生对实习医生教学技能的评价和实习医生对教学的态度上。
