Boot Camp for Resident Teachers

The Boot Camp for Resident Teachers (BCRT) program is an intensive two-day program on Thursday, February 6th and Friday, February 7th, 2020, for residents mid-way through their training focusing on cross-disciplinary teaching skills, including the one-minute preceptor, giving and receiving feedback, direct observation skills, case-based teaching, and managing the difficult learner.

With a focus on application, residents will engage in small group discussions, role-plays, and large group reflection as they examine and apply teaching strategies to authentic scenarios.

Program Directors annually nominate a resident to participate in the BCRT with the understanding that these nominees disseminate teaching skills to other learners in their program. Resident teachers may also consider using the experience as the basis for a scholarly project.
