Published: October 2004

There is a need to improve the quality of teaching done by neurology residents because neurology residents are intimately involved in medical student education. This article reviews the available literature on techniques to improve the teaching ability of resident physicians. Eight randomized prospective studies were identified from health and education databases. The outcomes measured were student ratings of residents or objective ratings of interactions between residents and students. The skills curriculum provided a more robust response, and the objective standardized teaching examination (OSTE) provided a standardized outcome. There continues to be a need for studies specifically addressing the teaching by neurology residents and fellows.
