Utilizing A Five-Step "Microskills" Pedagogy To Teach Radiology Residents In The Millennial Age

Abstract

Radiology is a distinct medical specialty with little patient interaction that focuses on report generation and image interpretation. In educational institutions, resident read-out sessions with instruction are an essential component of reporting workflow procedures. However, learning experiences differ and the majority of radiologist- educators lack formal training in teaching. Neher developed a five- step "microskills" model, also known as the "one-minute preceptor technique," that is an easily implemented teaching model that enhances the workflow of a typical read-out session. Radiologists with varying levels of seniority and teaching experience can use this model. The procedures are as follows: (a) obtain a commitment; (b) look for proof; (c) impart general guidelines; (d) highlight good work; and (e) fix errors. Two of the five microskills in the model are related to feedback.
