About the Program
As a resident, you serve a vital role assisting in the training of Baylor medical students. Medical students consistently rate residents as influential and valuable clinical teachers.
Being an effective clinical teacher takes training. All Baylor residents receive education on basic teaching topics, beginning with orientation and continuing through out residency training.

Resident Teaching Quotes
"I desire no other epitaph...than the statement that I taught medical students on the wards, as I regard this as by far the most useful and important work I have been called upon to do." - Sir William Osler, 1905
It is reported that approximately 1/3 of medical student knowledge comes from resident clinical teaching. Students spend more time learning from residents than attendings. Approximately 25 percent of resident activities are related to teaching. - Bing-You and Sproul, 1992
