Am I a good teacher? Lessons learnt from trainee feedback

14/4/2014

 
Picture
At my NHS hospital, it is one of my duties as a Consultant to teach and mentor trainee plastic surgeons. A recent trainee feedback survey on the Consultants as trainers, showed that though I scored better than average in my 'trainer' skills, there were improvements that I could undertake in my teaching style, as demonstrated by the comments below: 

  • Excellent surgeon, but does not always teach.
  • Although some find her scary, she is approachable and does like to teach
  • Can be difficult to approach
  • Very keen on teaching and extremely supportive to trainees.  Uses clinics as mock exam cases providing excellent teaching.  In theatre, explains decision-making very well and takes trainees through case with supervision
  • Teaching at trauma meeting is excellent
  • Amazing, perfect
  • Very good at giving opportunities to “have a go” in theatre, for which I’m very grateful, but a slightly more forgiving teaching style would be better!


Though I am not Shrek or an Ogre at work, I obviously do need to improve! Sometimes I must appear to be unapproachable, even though I feel I am not. And I have often wondered if, perhaps, the direct manner in which I speak gives rise to this perception. My second sin is that, I will form an opinion about a trainee in the first 2 weeks or so.  If I find the trainee surgeon unreceptive, arrogant, lazy or rude to staff /patients,  I do not give him/her the same support I would have otherwise. As a teacher, irrespective of trainee attitudes , I should be encouraging to all. And 
that is the difficult part.
