title: Tips for being an effective teacher.
abstract: The young practitioner needs to acquire a large number of skill sets during a short transition period after starting their career as an attending surgeon. The role of a teacher is especially challenging because our clinical training and education do not emphasize the development of effective teaching. Within that context, we suggest the acquisition of educational concepts and the practice of useful action items as a start to the lifelong process of becoming a more effective teacher.
