Residents as learning facilitators inside and outside of interprofessional education: a faculty development program in postgraduate pediatric training.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Changing learning environments in health professions are an important challenge of interprofessional education (IPE). When students experience IPE activities during their undergraduate training, they are often guided by trained learning facilitators. Students still spend more time in non-IPE settings, often guided by residents. Residents rarely undergo specific training for core teaching competencies that are crucial in both IPE and non-IPE contexts. At our pediatric hospital, some residents were trained as learning facilitators on an interprofessional training ward. To bridge the gap between IPE and non-IPE learning facilitation for the other residents, we developed the resident-as-teachers course "How to teach pediatrics."
