Abstract
Growing concerns about preparation, coaching and supervision of psychiatry residents as instructors generated a unique, experiential workshop design for teaching instructional skills. The authors share a replicable methodology featuring the learning principles of lectures, tutorials, small group instruction and supervision. Mimicking the workshop content paradigm, the paper incorporates tables of characteristics and principles of clinical teaching models. Assessed resident attitudes toward teaching fell in step with a previously reported attitudinal survey1 with this exception: that residents were interested in instructional skill training and the workshop was positively valued by residents. Preliminary evaluation data also indicate that the workshop produced knowledge change.
