This educational intervention is designed to prepare emergency medicine residents for their supervisory and teaching roles with medical students in clinical environments. The curriculum uses structured, role-playing simulation scenarios that replicate common teaching interactions in the emergency department. Residents participate in observed simulated encounters in which they supervise and provide feedback to learners. Pre- and post-intervention surveys indicate that participation improves residents’ self-reported comfort with supervising students, evaluating clinical performance, and delivering effective feedback. The intervention supports accreditation requirements mandating resident involvement in medical student education and offers a practical framework for developing clinical teaching skills within a resident-as-teacher curriculum.
