Many feel that the generational differences encountered with Millennial trainees are novel; the reality is that prior generations have always bemoaned generational differences. This is not a new problem; some of the same things may even have been said about us during our own training! There are a variety of myths and misconceptions about the Millennial generation (also known as Generation Y). In this article we review some of the differences frequently encountered as we educate and work alongside our Millennial colleagues, dispelling some of the myths and misconceptions. With increased understanding of this talented group of individuals, we hope to be more effective teachers and have more successful professional relationships.

The newest influx of young learners of anatomy in medical education belong to Generation Z (GenZ), a unique generation of individuals that are vastly different from the Millennial and GenZ trainees before them. It has been shown that the first wave of GenZ members entering the workforce possess considerable talent for innovation and dedication to their work. However, recent evidence suggests that GenZ learners are also potently susceptible to environmental influences and place heavy emphasis on personal relationships developed with their instructors.

Most of the current orthopaedic residents are considered Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) and are often trained by attending surgeons who are from Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980) or the Baby Boomer generation (born between 1946 and 1964). The Generation X orthopaedic surgeons were largely trained by Baby Boomers who were very demanding of their trainees and expected excellence. The Baby Boomers had been inspired, mentored, and trained by the Greatest Generation (born between 1901 and 1927).

Background: Medical resident reading and information-seeking behavior is limited by time constraints as well as comfort in accessing and assessing evidence-based resources. Educational technology interventions, as the preferred method for millennial leaners, can reduce these barriers. We implemented an educational web tool, consisting of peer-reviewed articles as well as local and national protocols and policies, built into the daily workflow of a university-based anesthesiology department.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic has required dermatology residency programs to convert their learning environment largely to a virtual setting. The impromptu reliance on online lectures, videoconference didactics, and other digital educational resources during this time is welcomed by today's millennial generation of medical trainees and coincides with their learning preferences. Although hands-on direct patient care experiences are currently limited due to reservation of in-office visits for urgent care only, resident participation in teledermatology has permitted them to continue gaining valuable clinical training and may allow for enhanced evaluation of their performance in the future.
