Studies detail a generally positive impact of residents on medical students; however, it is unknown how, and to what extent, residents influence medical student experiences. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to investigate the impact of resident presence on medical students’: (a) education, (b) satisfaction, (c) specialty choice and (d) preparedness for residency. Our study describes a method by which we may assess residents as CanMED Scholars, by evaluating their impact on medical student educational experiences. A convergent parallel mixed methods research design will be used. We are currently in the data collection phase.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn about mixed methods research designs
2. Learn how to conduct a thematic analysis
