This study was designed to provide a profile of behaviors and characteristics of outstanding clinical teachers which others undertaking that professional role could use as a model for their own teaching behavior. Chief residents at 67 medical school pediatric residency training programs nominated a single faculty member whom they thought to be one of their department's best attending physicians. Those selected averaged 11.7 years of experience attending; 64% were subspecialists.
Among the questionniare items was one asking the nominated physician to identify the 5 qualities which he felt were his strongest attributes as a teacher. His nominator made a similar appraisal of him. Aggregated rankings and paired correlations of the most frequently selected strengths were:
