BACKGROUND: Teaching is a responsibility of general surgery residents and formal teaching instruction is mandated. This study examines the efficacy of a formal RATP incorporated into our general surgery residency curriculum. METHODS: The RATP was developed locally and delivered longitudinally over the course of the academic year, starting in 2017. Self-assessment surveys were distributed to residents before and after completion of the program each academic year. Medical students were surveyed regarding their impression of teaching on the surgical clerkship. RESULTS: RATP data was collected annually. All sessions were highly rated. Residents reported improved teaching self-efficacy after participation. Medical student agreement with the statement 'Residents provided effective teaching during the [surgery] clerkship' increased from 68.6% prior to RATP implementation to 79.7% in the following years (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Incorporation of a locally developed RATP improved residents' self-perceptions and medical student perception of residents as teachers. RATPs should be adopted widely.
