Effect of the learning climate of residency programs on faculty's teaching performance as evaluated by residents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To understand teaching performance of individual faculty, the climate in which residents' learning takes place, the learning climate, may be important. There is emerging evidence that specific climates do predict specific outcomes. Until now, the effect of learning climate on the performance of the individual faculty who actually do the teaching was unknown.

Objectives

THIS STUDY: (i) tested the hypothesis that a positive learning climate was associated with better teaching performance of individual faculty as evaluated by residents, and (ii) explored which dimensions of learning climate were associated with faculty's teaching performance.

Methods and materials

We conducted two cross-sectional questionnaire surveys amongst residents from 45 residency traini
