  This KUMC web page is intended to serve as an online KU resource for resident teachers to improve their teaching skills. At the University of Kansas School of Medicine, the GME Office provides a "Residents as Teachers" workshop and a Clinical Teaching Skills module on Chalk covering a wide range of clinical teaching skills and emphasizing techniques that enable residents to integrate their teaching duties into daily patient care activities. Completion of the "Residents as Teachers" workshop and the Clinical Teaching Skills module will improve residents' self-discipline, sense of professionalism, clinical learning, organizational skills, and teaching abilities.

The program offers three national workshops each year: in November in Texas; in February in California; in June in Washington, DC.
