The Academy of Resident Educators (AoRE) is a resident-run organization dedicated to fostering the growth of residents as clinician-educators and leaders within the Internal Medicine residency program at Baylor College of Medicine.
We do this by hosting a longitudinal lecture series throughout the academic year focused on the development of resident skills as clinician educators. Additionally, we host workshops such as Chalk Talk Workshops to empower our residents with the tools to begin teaching early in training.
Our organization also assists with providing interested residents with teaching opportunities involving medical student sessions at Baylor College of Medicine in addition to faculty development lectures and workshops held across the institution.
These events and opportunities are available to any of our interested residents. By participating in medical education during residency, all residents may participate in the AoRE Distinguished Educator Pathway. This is done by pursuing direct teaching, personal development, and pursuing medical education research. Eligible residents will receive the Distinguished Educator Certificate at the time of graduation.
