Residency Education - Students
Education for Residents

Teaching medical school postgraduates, residents, fellows and faculty members, who are all closely involved in teaching other colleagues, allied and junior members of the medical teams, as well as medical students in the school, has proven to be an effective method of institutionalizing our approach. We have activated this "train the trainer" strategy in a variety of settings.

1) Dr. Linda Barnes introduces new residents in the Pediatrics primary care track to sites and understandings of healing, in the neighborhoods served by BMC, using the BHLP website.
2) Dr. Barnes presents a pre-clinic conference for residents, on cross-cultural integrative history-taking skills.
3) Dr. Barnes attends Morning Report weekly, to raise cross-cultural questions when appropriate.
4) Additionally, Dr. Zuckerman leads weekly reflection sessions with residents that regularly deal with cross-cultural issues.
5) The BHLP has developed a model for writing teaching cases that bring together complex cultural and medical issues. Residents have served as co-authors of these cases, with the goal of training them in this particular model of case-writing.
