Resident Educator Development (RED)

Introduction: An important part of a residents' job is that of educator. Residents teach medical students, patients, and each other. In order to be effective teachers, residents need to be equipped with teaching skills, important skills that may not have been covered in their own medical school training. RED was developed by Dr. Heather Thompson, Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at the University of Minnesota, as a means to instruct residents on teaching skills. GME has organized RED to be used in two ways: 1) self-guided training materials available to residents in CD-ROM format; and 2) interactive learning activities based on the principles discussed in the modules.

Self-Guided Training Materials
There are multiple modules below designated as "Train the Trainer" materials that faculty, chief residents and others may use to train residents in these topic areas.

Each module contains a PowerPoint presentation that outlines the module content, role play scenarios or video clips that illustrate the principles discussed and summary handouts for the session participants.
