Radiology residents from learners to teachers: A multi-centric study

Highlights: • Little is known about the teaching role of radiology residents and how their teaching skills evolve during their training • Teaching effectiveness is correlated importantly with proper communication skills and providing and receiving feedback. • As they progress from juniors to seniors, senior radiology residents still face difficulties in several teaching domains. • The introduction of formal guidance in teaching through Resident-as-Teacher programs is needed to improve teaching skills. The teaching role of radiology residents has seldom been evaluated, and little is known about how teaching skills of radiology residents evolve throughout their training in the absence of formal teaching guidance. Our objective is to identify residents' characteristics correlating with better teaching and compare teaching characteristics of junior and senior residents.
