The success of our program is built on the expertise and strength of our faculty: the excellent clinical care; the teaching and coaching provided to our residents at the bedside and beyond; the mentorship and leadership by example; the academic contributions – all of this while living life, taking care of kids and families, and pursuing other interests. I want to set off this academic year by highlighting the contributions of our faculty to teaching and coaching. We have incredible teachers in our community, and we’ll feature some of their creative along with steadfast teaching methods and pearls. For now, I leave you with the word clouds of our resident’s thoughts on the positive and negative attributes of clinical teachers.
