Learning professional boundaries is a key part of professional identify formation for our students and receiving much attention. For us to teach this topic, it is important for us to define appropriate boundaries for ourselves and our institution.
As teachers of millennial students and residents, shifting social norms, and new technologies to communicate, the nuances of teacher/student boundaries can be challenging. Should students be able to text with you? Is it okay to take your student to dinner to talk about career goals? Is it okay to take your students/residents out for drinks after a tough exam? These types of questions are often surrounded by mitigating factors that may make the answers unclear. Join us for a case-based discussion about appropriate boundaries and ways to discuss them with your learners.
