Teaching Tips is a monthy newsletter emailed to the Department of Family and Social Medicine community preceptors and faculty. The newsletters give teaching tips on a wide variety of topics related to teaching medical students and residents. Some of our past newsletters have covered topics such as developing a culture of learning for health professionals, using the microskills approach, integrating the physical exam into teaching, and teaching evidence in a busy clinic.
If you would like to have Teaching Tips emailed to you each month, please contact Renee Shanker at rshanker@montefiore.org.
