Coaching for Chaos: A Qualitative Study of Instructional Methods for Multipatient Management in the Emergency Department.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Busy environments, like the emergency department (ED), require teachers to develop instructional strategies for coaching trainees to function within these same environments. Few studies have documented the strategies used by emergency physician (EP)-teachers within these busy, chaotic environments, instead emphasizing teaching in more predictable environments such as the outpatient clinic, hospital wards, or operating room.

Method

An interpretive description study was conducted at multiple teaching hospitals affiliated with McMaster University from July 2014 to Ma
