Background: Canada and the United States have similar medical education systems, but different health care systems. We surveyed medical students in Ontario and California to assess their knowledge and views about health care policy and systems, with an emphasis on attitudes toward universal care.
Methods: A web-based survey was administered during the 2010-2011 academic year to students in 5 medical schools in Ontario and 4 in California.
Abraham Flexner's analysis of U.S. medical education at the turn of the 20th century transformed the processes of student selection and instruction, the roles and responsibilities of faculty members, and the provision of resources to support medical education.

- A study was done to see if teaching skills for resident doctors could be improved through a special training program.
- The training included 13 hours of practice in small groups over 6 months where they learned how to teach and received feedback.
- Results showed that the doctors who went through the training improved their teaching skills way more than those who didn’t get the training.
Purpose: To determine whether a longitudinal residents-as-teachers curriculum improves generalist residents' teaching skills.
Method: From May 2001 to February 2002, 23 second-year generalist residents in four residencies affiliated with the University of California, Irvine, College of Medicine, completed a randomized, controlled trial of a longitudinal residents-as-teachers program. Thirteen intervention residents underwent a 13-hour curriculum during one-hour noon conferences twice monthly for six months, practicing teaching skills and receiving checklist-guided feedback.
Background And Objectives: Family practice residents and students receive substantial teaching from senior residents. Yet, we lack data about residents' needs for teaching skills development, particularly in generalist training. This multicenter, interdisciplinary study describes the learning needs of generalist residents for becoming more effective teachers.
