PEARLS FOR OUTSTANDING PROCEDURAL TEACHING

Pearls for Outstanding Procedural Teaching

Presenters: Lauren Steffel, MD & Carlos Delgado, MD

Description: Educators frequently encounter the challenge of teaching a procedure. Do you demonstrate one, ask your learner to perform one, and then expect them to be able to teach one themselves? Encourage independent practice? Utilize an OSCE screening? How do you deal with an anxious learner? A learner that has trouble with manual dexterity?

Objectives: 

  • Describe how procedural teaching differs from other traditional types of teaching
  • Summarize various frameworks for teaching procedural skills
  • Formulate periprocedural communication strategies to address a learner’s challenges when performing a procedure
  • Evaluate and assess procedural skills and provide post-procedural feedback
