Resumen

Improving resident teaching skills is an expectation of training. Despite the recognized importance of resident-as-teacher (RaT) curricula, variability indicates the need for evidence-based guidelines to inform best practices. This paper outlines expert guidelines for the development, implementation, and evaluation of RaT curricula from the members of the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine Best Practices Subcommittee, based on a critical review of the literature. It is important to perform a needs assessment prior to creating and implementing a RaT curriculum. The RaT curricula should include instruction on adult learning theory, feedback, and classroom and bedside teaching techniques. Outcomes of RaT curricula should be assessed using multiple sources including direct observation and incorporate both knowledge and skill retention, as well as acquisition.
