Todays pearl pertains to a great new blog put together by Dr. Michelle Lin, entitled "Academic Life in Emergency Medicine." The blog is superb and is a great resource for anyone interested in academic EM.
Today's posting is about teaching when time is limited and Michelle discusses a really good article written by Irby, et al. This article addresses a topic that is very pertinent to us in the ED, how to teach when it is busy. Isn't it always busy?
Tips from the article:
1. Identify the learner needs (can't be successful without this important step) 2. Teach rapidly (great tips for how to do this in the ED) 3. Provide feedback (students are starving for this)
