The BCRP emphasizes the important role that residents play in teaching medical students from Harvard and Boston University Medical Schools during their pediatric clerkships, and in teaching other residents during supervisory rotations. To help residents become successful in these roles, regular sessions throughout the year and during program-wide retreats are dedicated to exercises on effective teaching. In addition, a formal Resident-as-Teacher Program exists at Children's Hospital to further these efforts. As part of this program, senior residents receive one-on-one feedback on their teaching from trained faculty members, based on a direct-observation model. Additionally, all residents are taught skills such as teaching at the bedside, use of the "one minute preceptor", giving effective feedback and delivering effective presentations. Residents also take the lead in presenting at Basic and Clinical Journal Clubs, Mini-Grand Rounds and in selected Grand Rounds. These programs and experiences contribute to an atmosphere in which teaching is highly valued, and as a result medical students from both institutions regularly recognize members of our housestaff with accolades and formal teaching awards.
