Influence of medical didactic training on the self-efficacy and motivation of clinical teachers

Abstract

Due to increasing workload and rising expectations for both undergraduate and speciality training in medicine, teaching in a clinical environment can be challenging. The “Train the Trainer” course, developed by CAL (Chirurgische Arbeitsgemeinschaft Lehre, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chirurgie (DGCH)), aims to assist clinical teachers in their task. This study investigates the effect the course has on participants’ self-efficacy and teaching motivation.
