2/ As a reminder, we are still in our series on inpatient teaching.
3/ First, how often do you use strategies to teach after hours?
4/ Teaching after hours offers many advantages

7/ Here's a sample teaching email I send to residents on service with me. It is essential that such emails are short and succinct with teaching points while providing resources for further reading.
8/ Educational prescriptions are focused assignments to help learners practice the skills of EBM by asking a clinical question and documenting their findings to share with the group.
