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
