Tutorial
Tutorial
Tutorials are held at least once every two weeks, for two to three hours per session. They are attended by all clerks in the MSS rotation, the tutor and may include a subspecialty resident.
Format of the tutorial will be interactive and not didactic and would require clerks to prepare for the tutorial. The tutorials should be clinically focused and an emphasis may be placed on diagnostic and therapeutic issues. Tutorials can also be used to improve oral presentations, group and communication skills, and to develop a deeper understanding of the principles of the roles of a physician.
