Burton J. Landau, Phd

Welcome to RaTES: the Residents as Teachers and Evaluators of Students portal!

Residents teaching medical students is an important part of the medical education training process.

We have developed this portal to provide a repository of resources. Explore the eight Teaching Resources below. Most topics have a short overview as well as links to videos, discussion questions and other websites about the topic. We hope that these resouces help you to provide live training at your institution.

To get started, click on a topic and expand that section. Please make sure you also review the applicable Goals & Objectives for the clerkship in which you are teaching and know your role in helping the students achieve these goals and objectives.
