Core Clerkship Curriculum - Resident Mentor

Each of you has been assigned a resident mentor who you should meet with in week 1 of the rotation and spend an afternoon observing. The role for the resident mentor will be to assist you in choosing an appropriate case and selecting images for your final presentation as well as suggesting useful articles or other resources to serve as references for your final presentation. It is required that the bulk of the work of the presentation (deciding on content, organizing the material, importing images into PowerPoint, rehearsing, etc) fall to the student, as you are ultimately responsible for the entire presentation. It is important to remember that resident mentors have many additional responsibilities and limited time, and it is expected that no more than three brief meetings between student and mentor will be needed for adequate presentation preparation. Out of courtesy to your mentor, please do not wait until the last minute to review your final presentation with him or her.
