RaT race: A standardized open-access education resource provides a structured resident-as-teacher experience.
Article in AEM education and training, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: There is no unified approach for training residents to be teachers. Foundations of Emergency Medicine (FoEM) is a national program that provides free resident education in emergency medicine (EM) utilizing small-group, case-based instruction delivered by individual program faculty and residents. This study seeks to explore the FoEM resident-as-teacher (RaT) experience. Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods study of FoEM faculty site leaders and resident teachers in 2022. Site leaders completed an online survey consisting of multiple-choice, completion, and free-response items. We calculated descriptive statistics and applied a thematic qualitative analysis to free-response items. We conducted semistructured interviews with resident teachers. Interview transcripts were analyzed using a thematic approach with a constructivist-interpretivist paradigm. Results: A total of 133 of 180 (74%) site leaders completed the survey and 11 resident teachers were interviewed. Forty-nine (37%) programs utilize resident instructors. The frequency of residents teaching and degree of faculty supervision varied. Commonly identified advantages include reinforcement of core content for resident teachers (44/49), structured format (35/49), and reduced need for faculty instructors (30/49). The most commonly identified challenges include variable instruction by residents (33/49) and challenge to providing feedback on teaching (20/49). Resident teachers identified benefits including strengthening residency community, improved EM knowledge, and greater teaching skills. For nearly all resident participants, FoEM RaT impacted their career goals by affirming their interest in teaching. Conclusions: The FoEM curricular model appears to be a valuable and feasible method to incorporate a RaT experience into EM residency training programs.
