Methods: In this prospective, single-center study, 108 adult patients undergoing EUS-LB over a 1-year period were included.

Emergency Department Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries (ED STEADI) Program.

Emergency Medicine Resident Self-assessment of Clinical Teaching Compared to Student Evaluation Using a Previously Validated Rubric.

Purpose: The quality of clinical teaching in the emergency department from the students' perspective has not been previously described in the literature. Our goals were to assess senior residents' teaching ability from the resident/teacher and student/learner viewpoints for any correlation, and to explore any gender association. The secondary goal was to evaluate the possible impact of gender on the resident/student dyad, an interaction that has previously been studied only in the faculty/student pairing.
