Psychiatric residents' attitudes toward teaching

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.137.9.1104

The authors surveyed psychiatry residents in academic training programs to determine the amount of time they spent in teaching activities and to assess their attitudes toward teaching. They found that most residents spent from 1 to 2 hours per day teaching and felt they should do more. They tended to see themselves as capable teachers, and they valued traditional medical skills. They did not seem to value the use of audiovisual materials, written handouts, or self-instructional materials. Most of the residents had received no formal instruction designed to make them better teacher or direct feedback from faculty supervisors about their teaching skills.
