Resident Teaching

RESIDENTS ARE INVOLVED in teaching at several levels in the residency training program. On inpatient rotations at OHSU and the VA, residents usually have one or two medical students assigned to their team and they gain direct experience in teaching and supervising them. There are additional opportunities for residents to gain experience as educators and consultants on the emergency room, consultation/liaison, behavioral medicine, alcohol and drug, and community psychiatry rotations. Each of these consultation and education experiences are closely supervised by faculty where issues of imparting knowledge to other medical and non-medical health professionals are discussed. There is ample opportunity on the consultation/liaison experience and in community psychiatry to explore the roles of consultant and educator to nurses, social workers, psychologists and paraprofessionals. Residents are encouraged to prepare and present grand rounds, case conferences and seminars on a regular basis.
