Direct Instruction of Residents vs Students

 

Direct instruction of residents differs from classroom instruction of students. When a resident has a knowledge gap, it is usually most appropriate to refer them to relevant resource materials and then check their understanding of the material. Mini-lectures that resemble classroom instruction of students should be avoided or minimized, keeping in mind residents' greater ability to be independent in acquiring knowledge as compared to students.
