TEACHING RESOURCES
Residents are required to participate in teaching activities throughout the year, and are designed to develop a resident’s teaching skills. Teaching activities vary, and include lectures, leading small group discussions, assessing Pharm.D. students on clinical skills, and serving as a preceptor during experiential rotations. Opportunities vary from program to program.
Basic concepts and teaching skills are first acquired through a required Teaching and Presentation Skills seminar conducted every summer during orientation. Residents work with faculty as they prepare for teaching activities, and are assessed periodically. Residents who wish to pursue a career in academia are encouraged to participate in the course Educational Theory and Practice, which teaches concepts on instructional design and methodology.
