Guidelines for Resident Led-Sessions

  1. Each resident will facilitate one case-based AHD session during their residency year.
  2. The resident will receive their therapeutic topic at the beginning of the residency year. 
  3. An AHD mentor will also participate in this session.  The resident will work with the AHD mentor to develop the pre-session objectives, determine appropriate pre-readings, develop session objectives and develop the case(s).   The AHD mentor will provide guidance and support to the resident when developing their session.
  4. The resident will facilitate the session and teach the other resident(s) about the topic using a case-based format.  No slides are required.  This session is expected to be case-based.
  5. AHD mentor will support the resident in facilitating the discussion, ensure active participation from members of the audience and also provide insight on the topic from their own experience.

Resident-Led Academic Half Day: A Resident's Guide

This guide is meant to provide residents with an overview of the Resident-Led Academic Half Day and to assist residents in preparing for their teaching session.  This guide includes information on session requirements, session length and tips for session preparation and session facilitation.

Instructions for Residents

  1. Residents are to contact their AHD mentor at least 8 weeks prior to the session to schedule a session planning meeting.  The purpose of the planning meeting is to narrow the topic of focus to something that is relevant, meaningful and doable during a 2-3 hour session and also to develop a work plan to develop the session materials.  In preparation for the meeting, the resident should familiarize themselves with the disease state/therapeutic topic and brainstorm some potential areas of focus in advance of this introductory meeting to make the most use of the time.  Beginning work on the session materials should occur after this introductory meeting once the area(s) of focus for the topic are determined.
  2. Residents are to adhere to the timelines on the Guidelines for Session Facilitators Page.
