Element 9.1 – Preparation of Resident and Non-Faculty Instructors

In a medical school, residents, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other non-faculty instructors in the medical education program who supervise or teach medical students are familiar with the learning objectives of the course or clerkship and are prepared for their roles in teaching and assessment. The medical school provides resources to enhance residents’ and non-faculty instructors’ teaching and assessment skills, and provides central monitoring of their participation in those opportunities.

Today, we will spend some time on what you need to do in order to fill out the tables in 9.1 the way the LCME wants to see them. Make it easy on yourselves — have all courses distribute course related materials in the same way — and use, my favorite word, a “multi-modal” approach. Additionally, can’t forget about residents who aren’t in your system! We’ll talk about that!
