    ObjectiveThis study was undertaken to compare teaching quality between obstetrics/gynecology resident and faculty preceptors in ambulatory gynecology as determined by medical student evaluation.Study DesignA prospective assessment of medical student evaluations of resident and faculty preceptors in ambulatory gynecology was conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Forty-eight third-year medical students evaluated preceptors on 15 teaching quality items and recorded their clinical experience during their obstetrics/gynecology clerkship from July 2004 to June 2005 for a total of 138 evaluations.ResultsFaculty scores were statistically higher than resident scores on 4 of the 15 teaching quality items; acting as an appropriate clinical role model, emphasizing evidence-based learning, being enthusiastic about teaching and patient care (P < .05). Students performed significantly more Papanicolaou tests and pelvic and breast examinations during ambulatory sessions with residents than with faculty (P < .001).ConclusionResidents and faculty contribute important and different aspects of teaching experiences for medical students in ambulatory gynecology.
