Article Abstract

Small community-based residency teaching programs are often entrusted with the task of instructing medical students. In these small programs, sufficient teaching instruction for medical students can be hindered by an ever-increasing workload and lack of a structured curriculum. We designed a resident-supervised rotation for medical students in our department while providing a forum for residents to improve their teaching skills.
